![]() ![]() Up until then, the quality of helmets had been fairly consistent and the bowls well decorated and finished. It would appear that armour quality suffered at times when mass production methods were being used to meet the increased demand which was very high (from the Civil and Social Wars, and following the Marian and Augustan reforms) the reduced size cuirasses would also have been quicker and cheaper to produce, which may have been a deciding factor at times of financial crisis, or where large bodies of men were required to be mobilized at short notice, possibly reflected in the poor-quality, mass produced iron helmets of Imperial Italic type C, as found, for example, in the River Po at Cremona, associated with the Civil Wars of AD 69 AD Russell Robinson, 1975, 67 The production of these kinds of helmets of Italic tradition decreased in quality because of the demands of equipping huge armies, especially during civil wars.The bad quality of these helmets is recorded by the sources describing how sometimes they were covered by wicker protections (viminea tegimenta), like those of Pompeius' soldiers during the siege of Dyrrachium in 48 BC, which were seriously damaged by the missiles of Caesar's slingers and archers. Other historians and writers have stated that the Roman army's need for large quantities of "mass produced" equipment after the so-called " Marian Reforms" and subsequent civil wars led to a decline in the quality of Roman equipment compared to the earlier Republican era: Roman equipment was not of a better quality than that used by the majority of Rome's adversaries. This does not mean that every Roman soldier had better equipment than the richer men among his opponents. The equipment gave the Romans a very distinct advantage over their barbarian enemies, especially so in the case of armour. ![]() Its regular practice during the Roman Republic and Roman Empire led to military excellence and victory. ![]() These standard patterns and uses were called the res militaris or disciplina.

Infinitely excellent and with sovereign power, they deserve all that we are, and everything in heaven and on earth, now and through eternity. I am saying, however, that it is a common oversight among spiritually minded people not to turn from outside engagements from time to time to worship God within ourselves and enjoy in peace some small moments of their divine presence.īrother Lawrence teaches that this practice begins with a faith that God is truly present with us in all times and circumstances:Īll this reverence must be done by faith, believing God is really living in our hearts, and we must honor, love, and serve them in spirit and in truth…. Wisdom, the mother of all our spiritual strengths, will be your guide. I don’t mean to give the impression, though, that you should stop working or abandon your duties. Ultimately, we can offer God no greater evidence of our faithfulness than by frequently detaching and turning from all things created so we can enjoy their Creator for a single moment. Since you are aware that God is present before you during your actions, that they are in the deep center of your soul, why not stop your activities and even your vocal prayers, at least from time to time, to love God, praise them, ask for their help, offer them your heart, and thank them?… Carmen Acevedo Butcher offers a modern translation:ĭuring our work and other activities, even during our reading and writing, no matter how spiritual, and, I emphasize, even during our external devotions and vocal prayers, we must stop for a brief moment, as often as we can, to love God deep in our heart, to savor them, even though this is brief and in secret. He begins by encouraging us to take brief moments of pause during our busy days to enhance our awareness of God’s presence. His reflections, known as Practice of the Presence of God, have inspired countless Christians and other spiritual seekers to simple practices of contemplation and presence. ![]() Brother Lawrence (1611–1691) was a lay brother in a Carmelite monastery, where he primarily worked in the kitchen. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() You can also check and if necessary, modify the font settings for a set of Job Options by choosing Settings > Edit Adobe PDF Settings in Distiller. You can then confirm that the fonts are embedded by choosing File > Properties, or pressing Ctrl/Command+D in Acrobat. When Distiller is done, you can open a PDF by double-clicking it in the list of files. Then either choose File > Open and navigate to the EPS, or simply drag and drop the EPS file(s) into the the window. To do so, launch Distiller and choose the desired Job Options from the Default Settings menu in the dialog box. You can use Acrobat Distiller to convert EPS files into PDFs with the fonts embedded. ![]() Converting EPS Files to PDFs with Distiller For both of the following techniques, first be sure that you have the necessary fonts on your computer. For most folks this will be a rare glitch since InDesign will embed (and by default, subset) embeddable fonts in exported PDFs and EPS files.Īs Dov Isaacs has pointed out in the Adobe Forums, there are workarounds you can employ to fix EPS and PDF files that don’t have their Type 1 fonts embedded. ![]() This has the potential to cause all manner of problems at that time for anyone still working with projects that include Type 1 fonts-not just in the obvious case of opening InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop files, but also when it comes to placing PDF or EPS files where Type 1 fonts were used but not embedded. As we have mentioned here previously, Adobe has announced their intention to drop support for Type 1 PostScript fonts in their Creative Cloud applications as of January 2023. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Incidentally, the distance from the real axis to the pole, the distance along the imaginary axis, is equal to Wd, the damped angular frequency which is the frequency that the closed loop system will oscillate at in response to a step input before settling down to its steady state value. Hence we can see how the the position of the poles are determined by the values of zeta and Wn. This tracing of the movement of the poles of a closed loop system in response to the increase of some system parameter, such as open loop gain, from 0 to infinity is the basis of the Root Locus technique.Īs K is increased and the poles move away from each other parallel to the S-plane's imaginary axis we can say that the distance from the origin to the pole is equal to Wn the undamped natural angular frequency and the cosine of the angle which that line makes with the real axis is equal to zeta, the damping ratio and so we can see that, as K increases, the poles move further from the real axis causing a reduction in damping ratio (angle gets closer to 90 degrees so cosine of the angle and hence zeta reduces) and the distance from the origin increases, increasing Wn. Oscillatory does not mean unstable, it means that, in response to a step input, the closed loop system will oscillate a bit before the output settles down to a steady state value. The two poles now have an imaginary component, they have become complex conjugate poles and the system is now oscillatory with some overshoot in response to a step input in the time domain. If the open loop gain is increased further, zeta will become less than one (underdamping), and the two poles will diverge away from each other moving away from each other at right angles to the real axis and parallel to the imaginary axis. At this value of K, the poles have the same value. As the open loop gain,K is increased the poles will move towards each other (converge) until they meet, still on the real axis. The two poles on the S-plane will be real and spaced apart on the real axis. So ultimately, the behavior of the closed loop system depends solely on the values of zeta and Wn in the closed loop transfer function.Ĭonsidering a closed loop system with a low value of open loop gain,K such that the value of zeta is greater than one (over damping). That is true and it is true because changing the value of K in the open loop transfer function alters the values of zeta and Wn in the closed loop transfer function. Well, you might say, I've already said that closed loop system behavior changes with the value of K, the open loop gain. These two variables determine the position of the poles on the S-plane and so you can also say that the behavior of a 2nd order system is determined by the position of the poles on the S-plane. The behavior of a closed loop system with just 2 poles (2nd order system) is totally determined by the combination of the values of zeta, the damping ratio and Wn, the undamped natural angular frequency. Interestingly, increasing k reduces the damping ratio, zeta but increases the undamped natural frequency,Wn and so changing k has no effect on settling time. So, increasing k moves the system closer to the point of instability and so phase margin and gain margin are reduced. Increasing k increases percentage overshoot and reduces rise time (faster response). Increasing k moves the closed loop system closer to the point of instability. ![]() With regard to a simple 2nd order transfer function with 2 poles. I don't know what woofer I'll use, so I'll use a sheet of plywood for now to get baseline idea of how this stacks up and possibly try them in a random cab I have lying around.It may become more understandable if you relate it to the open loop gain, k. Next I'll make a test baffle and measure these on the weekend. I'll keep these wrapped in plastic until they're ready to install. I image this is a good design for the sake of cooling and breathing (low wind noise) but I'm worried any debris will get in the gap and rub. If you look close in this next photo, you can see the voice coil barely sticking out of the gap. Cast frame is nice and the way the surround comes up onto the frame is attractive, but the cone luster and dark black doesn't match the matte grey-black of the frame. Neo mag is small compared to the ferrite I'm use to seeing, and the frame is quite open. Just got these in and I haven't seen much info on them, so figured I'd share my experience. ![]() |
