Atma authorizes you to exercise the licensed rights in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. Atma waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid you from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the licensed rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent effective technological measures.

ii. No downstream restrictions: you may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material.

Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under the public license, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, Atma waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by Atma to the limited extent necessary to allow you to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under the public license.

If requested by Atma, you must remove any of the information required by Clause V to the extent reasonably practicable.
If you share Adapted Material you produce, the Adapter's License you apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with the public license.
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to your use of the Licensed Material:
a. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause IV(b) grants you the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database for Non-Commercial purposes only;
b. If you include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which you have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which you have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
c. You must comply with the conditions in Clause V if you Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
For the avoidance of doubt, Clause VI supplements and does not replace your obligations under the public license where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, Atma offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to you.
To the extent possible, in no event will Atma be liable to you on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of the public license or use of the Licensed Material, even if Atma has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to you.
The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
The public license applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if you fail to comply with the public license, then your rights under the public license terminate automatically.
Where your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Clause VIII, it reinstates:
1. Automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of your discovery of the violation; or
2. Upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
For the avoidance of doubt, Clause VIII does not affect any right Atma may have to seek remedies for your violations of the public license.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public license.
Clauses I, VII, VIII and IX survive termination of the public license.

What are linear bearings and housings?
A linear bearing is a component that restricts motion to a straight direction (linear motion) only to ensure precision during operation. It is held in housing, also known as a block, that is mounted onto linear guides to hold the load.
What are linear bearings used for?
Linear bearings are designed to be used in a wide range of automated applications from large manufacturing robotics to 3D printers, they ensure continuous straight, smooth and low friction movement. Common applications include:
- Factory automation
- Medical
- Packing
- Printing
- Automotive assembly
- Food and beverage
What is the different between a plain bearing or ball bearing?
Linear plain bearings, also known as bushings, look similar to a tube in design as they comprise only 1 part that slides over rod shafts. They are a cost-effective solution available in different materials that can be used with or without lubricant.
Linear ball bearings are a type of rolling bearing that uses balls to allow the bearing to move over the shaft. This creates a smooth movement with minimal friction.
What do I need to consider when selecting a bearing?
Once the application and load is known, there are many differentiating specifications of bearings for consideration that include:
- Open or closed
- Dimensions - width, length, inside diameter
- Dynamic load capacity
- Material

What lubrication should be used with linear bearings?
Prior to installation, bearings should be stored in their packaging to remain lubricated. Lack of lubrication is the main cause of bearing failure so it is important to select the proper oil or grease for the application.
- Grease lubricants adhere well and are best used in moderate to high load applications
- Oil lubricants dissipate heat well and are more suited to high-speed applications

The Marlins may be a festering pile of Jeffrey Loria's shit, but they still have Giancarlo Stanton on the roster. It's a welcome presence because at least someone in the organization is capable of reaching the brass ring beyond "total embarrassment to humanity."
In the sixth inning in Philadelphia, Stanton launched a juicy curveball from Ethan Martin into the concourse behind left-center, landing near something called Planet Hoagie, a place to buy what assholes call "heroes."

text: Beginning in 2008, the University of Houston Libraries hosted an annual juried exhibit of student artwork, open to all students of all classifications and majors. A jury of professionals from the Houston arts community as well as UH School of Art faculty members selected work which was mounted each spring semester at the M.D. Anderson Library. After spring 2014, based on the positive response of student artists and audiences, this annual exhibition was discontinued in favor of a year-round rotation of student work. The location was also moved to a more complementary location in the William R. Jenkins Architecture and Art Library. This digital collection contains all student artwork exhibited in UH Libraries since 2010.

Rods destined for use in automobiles are machined, heat-treated and inspected for eccentricity of four diameters. Four SMAC actuators are used for the inspection as the rod is rotated. Each actuator measures the maximum and minimum travel and compares it with the stored Go/No-Go values. A pass/fail indicator reports the status of the part to the operator.
Key Operational Details
- High speed approach, slow down, land softly on rod surface
- Set force to 100 grams, monitor position as rod is rotated
- Register minimum and maximum positions and calculate eccentricity
- Measurement is compared against Go/No-Go window
- Pass/fail signal is triggered
SMAC Advantages
- 100% inspection
- Programmable force profile
- High speed, long life design for continuous operation
- QA reporting function
- Linear actuator in a single ready to mount package

Call of Duty: Ghosts announced for current and "next-gen"
Call of Duty: Ghosts has been made official by Activision after rumors of the game's contents first surfaced in March, and the recent teasing by the firm itself.
Call of Duty: Ghosts will contain an all-new story, all-new characters, and "an all-new Call of Duty world," powered by a next generation Call of Duty engine. The firm called this a "leap forward for the franchise."
"Everyone was expecting us to make Modern Warfare 4, which would have been the safe thing to do. But we're not resting on our laurels," said Mark Rubin, executive producer of developer Infinity Ward.
"We saw the console transition as the perfect opportunity to start a new chapter for Call of Duty. So we're building a new sub-brand, a new engine, and a lot of new ideas and experiences for our players. We can't wait to share them with our community."
It has been confirmed for next-gen Xbox as it will be shown during the reveal of the console on May 21.
"We are consistently thrilled with the overwhelming response received from critics and consumers alike to the Call of Duty series, which has firmly established its home on the Xbox 360 with the game's largest and most engaged community," said Don Mattrick, president of the interactive entertainment business at Microsoft.
"With Call of Duty: Ghosts, we have no doubt that our longtime partners, Activision and Infinity Ward, will raise the bar higher than ever before for this incredible franchise."
It will also be made available on other "next-generation" consoles, so this means PS4 as well. A Wii U version was not mentioned in the press release, but that doesn't mean it's not in the works through a different studio at Activision. It's just not included as part of today's announcement, so we'll have to see.
The pre-order page is also up so you can reserve your copy for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Expect a full reveal on May 21, then. Call of Duty: Ghosts will release on November 5.
A teaser trailer is below featuring various types of warriors, but no gameplay.

Source: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/63294BioShock 2 developer 2K Marin is to revive the classic turn-based tactical PC series X-COM as a first-person shooter, publisher 2K Games announced today.
"True to the roots of the franchise," according to 2K, the PC and Xbox 360 shooter named simply 'XCOM' will put players "in charge of overcoming high-stake odds through risky strategic gambits coupled with heart-stopping combat experiences that pit human ingenuity--and frailty--against a foe beyond comprehension" as an FBI agent.
"With BioShock 2, the team at 2K Marin proved themselves as masters of first-person, suspenseful storytelling, and with XCOM they will re-imagine and expand the rich lore of this revered franchise," said 2K president Christoph Hartmann in a press statement. "Players will explore the world of XCOM from an immersive new perspective and experience firsthand the fear and tension of this gripping narrative ride."
The X-COM series was begun in 1994 by Mythos with UFO: Enemy Unknown, blending base management, research and production with turn-based combat. The series was re-released on Steam and other outlets after 2K owner Take-Two picked up the rights.
Rumours had swirled since 2007 that BioShock creator Irrational Games would revive the franchise--which studio head Ken Levine has described as "sort of like my first love"--and resumes indicated that former Irrational studio 2K Australia was involved.
There's no word yet on when XCOM is scheduled to be released.
