What's the Difference Between a Colorimeter, a Colorimeter and a Colorimeter?
The word colorimeter has been used to describe a number of instruments for a century and a half. Some instruments didn't measure color, per se, and others didn't measure in the sense the term is now used. Understanding the evolution of this word brings us to a better appreciation of the devices that measure color today.

GENERATION AND SIMULATION OF MESHING FOR INVOLUTE HELICAL GEARS
A new method for generation and simulation of meshing for involute helical gears is presented. The approaches proposed for generation are based on the imaginary application of two rack-cutters one for pinion and the other for gear generation.
