Progressive stamping
Progressive stamping is a metalworking method that can encompass punching, coining, bending and several other ways of modifying metal raw material, combined with an automatic feeding system.
The feeding system pushes a strip of metal (as it unrolls from a coil) through all of the stations of a progressive stamping die. Each station performs one or more operations until a finished part is made. The final station is a cutoff operation, which separates the finished part from the carrying web. The carrying web, along with metal that is punched away in previous operations, is treated as scrap metal. Both are cut away, knocked down (or out of the dies) and then ejected from the die set, and in mass production are often transferred to scrap bins via underground scrap material conveyor belts.
The progressive stamping die is placed into a reciprocating stamping press. As the press moves up, the top die moves with it, which allows the material to feed. When the press moves down, the die closes and performs the stamping operation. With each stroke of the press, a completed part is removed from the die.

Progressive Party (United States, 1912)
The Progressive Party of 1912 was an American political party. It was formed by former President Theodore Roosevelt, after a split in the Republican Party between him and President William Howard Taft.
The party also became known as the Bull Moose Party after journalists quoted Roosevelt saying "I feel like a bull moose" shortly after the new party was formed.
Birth of a new party
Roosevelt left office in 1909. He had selected Taft, his Secretary of War, to succeed him as presidential candidate, and Taft easily won the 1908 presidential election. Roosevelt became disappointed by Taft's increasingly conservative policies. Taft upset Roosevelt when he used the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to break up U.S. Steel. During his own presidency, Roosevelt had approved J.P. Morgan-owned U.S. Steel as a "good" trust. They became openly hostile, and Roosevelt decided to seek the presidency.
Roosevelt entered the campaign late, as Taft was already being challenged by progressive leader Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin.

Thermodynamic process
Classical thermodynamics considers three main kinds of thermodynamic process: change in a system, cycles in a system, and flow processes.
Defined by change in a system, a thermodynamic process is a passage of a thermodynamic system from an initial to a final state of thermodynamic equilibrium. The initial and final states are the defining elements of the process. The actual course of the process is not the primary concern, and often is ignored. This is the customary default meaning of the term 'thermodynamic process'. In general, during the actual course of a thermodynamic process, the system passes through physical states which are not describable as thermodynamic states, because they are far from internal thermodynamic equilibrium. Such processes are useful for thermodynamic theory.
Defined by a cycle of transfers into and out of a system, a cyclic process is described by the quantities transferred in the several stages of the cycle, which recur unchangingly. The descriptions of the staged states of the system are not the primary concern. Cyclic processes were important conceptual devices in the early days of thermodynamical investigation, while the concept of the thermodynamic state variable was being developed.

Process philosophy
Process philosophy (or ontology of becoming) identifies metaphysical reality with change and development. Since the time of Plato and Aristotle, philosophers have posited true reality as "timeless", based on permanent substances, while processes are denied or subordinated to timeless substances. If Socrates changes, becoming sick, Socrates is still the same (the substance of Socrates being the same), and change (his sickness) only glides over his substance: change is accidental, whereas the substance is essential. Therefore, classic ontology denies any full reality to change, which is conceived as only accidental and not essential. This classical ontology is what made knowledge and a theory of knowledge possible, as it was thought that a science of something in becoming was an impossible feat to achieve.
In opposition to the classical model of change as accidental (as argued by Aristotle) or illusory, process philosophy regards change as the cornerstone of reality — the cornerstone of Being thought of as Becoming. Modern philosophers who appeal to process rather than substance include Nietzsche, Heidegger, Charles Peirce, Alfred North Whitehead, Alan Watts, Robert M. Pirsig, Charles Hartshorne, Arran Gare, Nicholas Rescher, Colin Wilson, and Gilles Deleuze. In physics Ilya Prigogine distinguishes between the "physics of being" and the "physics of becoming". Process philosophy covers not just scientific intuitions and experiences, but can be used as a conceptual bridge to facilitate discussions among religion, philosophy, and science.

Method (patent)
In United States patent law, a method, also called "process", is one of the four principal categories of things that may be patented through "utility patents". The other three are a machine, an article of manufacture (also termed a manufacture), and a composition of matter.
In that context, a method is a series of steps for performing a function or accomplishing a result. While the terms method and process are largely interchangeable,method usually refers to a way to use a product to accomplish a given result, and process usually refers to a series of steps in manufacture. Thus, one might speak about a method for curing headaches that comprises the administration of a therapeutically effective dose of aspirin or speak about a process for making soap or candles.
Not all methods, in the dictionary sense, are methods for purposes of United States patent law. The case law "forecloses a purely literal reading of § 101." The concept is elaborated in the article machine-or-transformation test.

Die (integrated circuit)
A die in the context of integrated circuits is a small block of semiconducting material, on which a given functional circuit is fabricated. Typically, integrated circuits are produced in large batches on a single wafer of electronic-grade silicon (EGS) or other semiconductor (such as GaAs) through processes such as photolithography. The wafer is cut (“diced”) into many pieces, each containing one copy of the circuit. Each of these pieces is called a die.
There are three commonly used plural forms: dice, dies, and die.

American History - Part 148 - Taft - Roosevelt Splits Republican Party - Wilson Wins Election 1912
Welcome to the MAKING OF A NATION -- American history in VOA Special English. This week in our series, we talk about the Presidential election of 1912. The first 10 years of the 20th century in America were shaped by the strong leadership of President Theodore Roosevelt. And in the 2nd decade, he returned to national politics to bring, once more, dramatic changes to the United States. Theodore Roosevelt was a distant cousin of Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat who became President in 1933. In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt organized a new political: the Progressives. Roosevelt created this new party after he failed to win the Republican Presidential nomination. The Republican convention of 1912 had been controlled by conservative supporters of President William Howard Taft. And, as we hear now from L...

1912: Bull Moosers, Socialists, and the Election that Changed America
How much should the government do to curb the power of corporate capital? What restrictions should America place on foreign immigration? How should the nation respond to poverty and income inequality? Should the US be involved in foreign wars? All of these questions drove the extraordinary four-way race of 1912 between a Democrat, a Republican, a Socialist, and a former President — Teddy Roosevelt — who split from his party to run as an insurgent reformer. The results shifted the political balance of power and opened up new debates about the relationship between government and business, rich and poor, and America and the world.

The 32nd episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt single handedly destroys the Republican Party because they aren't "Progressive" enough, and the Democrats rejoice.
The 32nd Presidential election in American history took place on November 5, 1912. Oh yeah! This was the election that was completely and utterly messed up. It was weird, man. Really weird. How weird? Well look at the electoral map, for crying out loud. What the heck is that?
But I’m ahead of myself. Let’s go back a bit. The Taft presidency was supposed to be Theodore Roosevelt 2.0. But right off the bat, it just wasn’t that way. Taft, was, like, his own person. He fired Cabinet members that Roosevelt had approved of or appointed. While Taft continued to fight trusts, he placed less of a commitment to conservation, labor unions, and restrictions on the employment of women and children. Soon there was a clear split in the Republican Party, between the more conservative leaning Republicans led by Taft, and the Progressive Republicans, led by Teddy Roosevelt.
After traveling around the world with his family for more than a year, Roosevelt came home to one of the biggest receptions ever given in New York City. Initially neutral about giving his opinion about how his friend was doing as President, that changed when eventually a bunch of Progressive Republicans had convinced Roosevelt to run against Taft in 1912.
The Republicans expanded their primaries to include even more delegates from across the country to the national convention to choose their nominee. Going into the convention, Roosevelt actually had more delegates than Taft did. Taft’s people, however, controlled the convention and essentially shut out many of the Roosevelt delegates. This, of course, made Roosevelt very angry, and he and his supporters stormed out of the convention. Not since the election of 1872 had their been such a major divide within the Republican Party.
In fact, Roosevelt and his supporters completely abandoned the Republicans, two weeks later meeting up to create their own political party, called the Progressive Party. These Progressives nominated Roosevelt for President (well duh) and Hiram Johnson, the Governor of California, as his running mate. At the convention, Roosevelt passionately called for what he called a “New Nationalism.” Their platform sought a minimum wage for women, an 8-hour workday, a child labor law, a social security system, a national health service, and the direct election of U.S. senators, among other things. Afterward, Roosevelt told reporters he felt as strong as a bull moose. After that, the Progressive Party became popularly known as the “Bull Moose Party.”
Despite the excitement of the Bull Moose Party, the Republicans pressed on with Taft as their candidate and James Sherman again as his running mate. Believe it or not, Sherman was the first incumbent Vice President to be nominated for re-election since John Calhoun way back in 1828.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, who hadn’t done so well in presidential elections since, I don’t know, before the Civil War, saw this major split of the Republican Party as a golden opportunity. They had a bit of drama as well as their own convention. Originally it looked like Champ Clark, the Speaker of the House from Missouri, was going to be the guy, but he failed to get the ⅔ majority needed to secure the nomination. In second place was Woodrow Wilson, the Governor of New Jersey. Wilson didn’t really think he had a chance, but then William Jennings Bryan decided to endorse him, and Bryan still had a lot of fans, so he had a lot of influence. On the 46th ballot. That’s right, I said 46th, Wilson was nominated, with Thomas Marshall, the governor of Indiana, as his running mate.
So that’s it? Oh heck no.
In 1912, Eugene Debs ran for President a 4th time, trying to keep together a Socialist Party that was also splintering. Debs was by this time a recognizable name across the nation, and his running mate was Emil Seidel, the former mayor of Milwaukee. The first ever Socialist mayor of an American city, as matter of fact.
The Prohibition Party responded to Eugene running again by having their Eugene run again. Eugene Chafin gave it a second try with Aaron Watkins again as his running mate.
The campaigns were dominated by the rivalry between Taft and Roosevelt, former friends who now seemed like bitter enemies. With those two fighting, the election looked to be a lock for Wilson, which was lucky for the Democrats because Wilson wasn’t the most charismatic person.

Welcome to the MAKING OF A NATION -- American history in VOA Special English.
This week in our series, we talk about the Presidential election of 1912.
The first 10 years of the 20th century in America were shaped by the strong leadership of President Theodore Roosevelt. And in the 2nd decade, he returned to national politics to bring, once more, dramatic changes to the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt was a distant cousin of Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat who became President in 1933.
In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt organized a new political: the Progressives. Roosevelt created this new party after he failed to win the Republican Presidential nomination.
The Republican convention of 1912 had been controlled by conservative supporters of President William Howard Taft. And, as we hear now from Leo Scully and Maurice Joyce, the party nominated Taft for 4 more years in the White House.
As a result, Roosevelt broke with the Republicans. And he and his supporters held their own convention. They formed the Progressive party and approved a platform that promised reforms. These reforms were proposed to make the government serve the people and carry out more fully their desire for social progress.
The Democratic Party also nominated a candidate who supported progressive ideas. The Democrats chose Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, a former President of Princeton University.
So, for the first time in many years, there were 3 major candidates for President. Wilson clearly had the best chance to win. He had the support of almost all the Democrats. The Republicans, however, were split. Some supported Taft. The others were for Roosevelt.
Roosevelt refused to accept the idea of defeat. He campaigned hard, visiting many cities and towns, making speech after speech. Wilson also campaigned hard. He seemed to enjoy it as much as Roosevelt.
Taft did not like it at all. He refused to do much campaigning. He spent most of the time at his summer home.
On November 5th, the people voted. The winner was Woodrow Wilson. He received more than 6,000,000 votes. Roosevelt was second with 4,000,000. Taft received only about 3,500,000. Wilson's victory was even greater in the electoral vote. He got 435. Roosevelt got only 88. And Taft received only the 8 electoral votes of Utah and Vermont.
The Democrats won not only the White House, but also control of Congress. And a number of Democratic governors were elected in states formerly controlled by Republicans.
The 1912 campaign ended public life for Theodore Roosevelt. Soon after the election, a friend visited Roosevelt and talked of possible victory in 1916.
"I thought you were a better politician," Roosevelt said. "The fight is over. We are beaten. There is only one thing to do. That is to go back to the Republican Party. You cannot hold a party like the Progressive Party together. There are no loaves and fishes...no financial support."
War was soon to break out in Europe. The United States would enter the struggle in 1917.
As always, Roosevelt was ready to join in a fight. He asked for permission to organize an American force and lead it into battle in France. President Wilson, however, turned down the request. Roosevelt was sure that it was a political decision. He never forgave Wilson for keeping him out of the war.
Although Roosevelt himself could not fight, 4 of his sons went into battle. One -- his youngest son Quentin -- did not return. When he received news of his son's death, Roosevelt wrote these words to honor "Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die. And none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life. Both life and death are parts of the same great adventure. All of us who give service and stand ready for sacrifice are torch bearers. We run with the torches until we fall, satisfied if we can then pass them to the hands of other runners.
"The torches whose flame is brightest are carried by the brave men on the battlefield and by the brave women whose husbands, lovers, sons, and brothers struggle there. These are the torch bearers. These are they who have dared the great adventure."
Roosevelt's own great adventure was itself coming to an end.
He suffered from painful attacks of inflammatory rheumatism and from a serious ear infection. He had difficulty in hearing and could not walk. But the old man was still cheerful. He spent his 60th birthday in the hospital. And to his family and friends, he "I am ahead of the game. Nobody ever packed more kinds of fun and interest into 60 years."
Death came to Roosevelt as he slept on the night of January 6th, 1919. Said Vice President Thomas, "Death had to take him sleeping. For if Roosevelt had been awake, there would have been a fight."

How much should the government do to curb the power of corporate capital? What restrictions should America place on foreign immigration? How should the nation respond to poverty and income inequality? Should the US be involved in foreign wars? All of these questions drove the extraordinary four-way race of 1912 between a Democrat, a Republican, a Socialist, and a former President — Teddy Roosevelt — who split from his party to run as an insurgent reformer. The results shifted the political balance of power and opened up new debates about the relationship between government and business, rich and poor, and America and the world.

The Progressive Party of 1912 was an American political party. It was formed by former President Theodore Roosevelt, after a split in the Republican Party between him and President William Howard Taft.
The party also became known as the Bull Moose Party after journalists quoted Roosevelt saying "I feel like a bull moose" shortly after the new party was formed.

In which John Green teaches you about the Progressive Presidents, who are not a super-group of former presidents who create complicated, symphonic, rock soundscapes that transport you into a fantasy fugue state. Although that would be awesome. The presidents most associated with the Progressive Era are Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft, and Woodrow Wilson. During the times these guys held office, trusts were busted, national parks were founded, social programs were enacted, and tariffs were lowered. It wasn't all positive though, as their collective tenure also saw Latin America invaded A LOT, a split in the Republican party that resulted in a Bull Moose, all kinds of other international intervention, and the end of the Progressive Era saw the United States involved in World War. If all this isn't enough to entice, I will point out that two people get shot in this video. Violence sells, they say.

The 32nd episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt single handedly destroys the Republican Party because they aren't "Progressive" enough, and the Democrats rejoice.
The 32nd Presidential election in American history took place on November 5, 1912. Oh yeah! This was the election that was completely and utterly messed up. It was weird, man. Really weird. How weird? Well look at the electoral map, for crying out loud. What the heck is that?
But I’m ahead of myself. Let’s go back a bit. The Taft presidency was supposed to be Theodore Roosevelt 2.0. But right off the bat, it just wasn’t that way. Taft, was, like, his own person. He fired Cabinet members that Roosevelt had approved of or appointed. While Taft continued to fight trusts, he placed less of a commitment to conservation, labor unions, and restrictions on the employment of women and children. Soon there was a clear split in the Republican Party, between the more conservative leaning Republicans led by Taft, and the Progressive Republicans, led by Teddy Roosevelt.
After traveling around the world with his family for more than a year, Roosevelt came home to one of the biggest receptions ever given in New York City. Initially neutral about giving his opinion about how his friend was doing as President, that changed when eventually a bunch of Progressive Republicans had convinced Roosevelt to run against Taft in 1912.
The Republicans expanded their primaries to include even more delegates from across the country to the national convention to choose their nominee. Going into the convention, Roosevelt actually had more delegates than Taft did. Taft’s people, however, controlled the convention and essentially shut out many of the Roosevelt delegates. This, of course, made Roosevelt very angry, and he and his supporters stormed out of the convention. Not since the election of 1872 had their been such a major divide within the Republican Party.
In fact, Roosevelt and his supporters completely abandoned the Republicans, two weeks later meeting up to create their own political party, called the Progressive Party. These Progressives nominated Roosevelt for President (well duh) and Hiram Johnson, the Governor of California, as his running mate. At the convention, Roosevelt passionately called for what he called a “New Nationalism.” Their platform sought a minimum wage for women, an 8-hour workday, a child labor law, a social security system, a national health service, and the direct election of U.S. senators, among other things. Afterward, Roosevelt told reporters he felt as strong as a bull moose. After that, the Progressive Party became popularly known as the “Bull Moose Party.”
Despite the excitement of the Bull Moose Party, the Republicans pressed on with Taft as their candidate and James Sherman again as his running mate. Believe it or not, Sherman was the first incumbent Vice President to be nominated for re-election since John Calhoun way back in 1828.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party, who hadn’t done so well in presidential elections since, I don’t know, before the Civil War, saw this major split of the Republican Party as a golden opportunity. They had a bit of drama as well as their own convention. Originally it looked like Champ Clark, the Speaker of the House from Missouri, was going to be the guy, but he failed to get the ⅔ majority needed to secure the nomination. In second place was Woodrow Wilson, the Governor of New Jersey. Wilson didn’t really think he had a chance, but then William Jennings Bryan decided to endorse him, and Bryan still had a lot of fans, so he had a lot of influence. On the 46th ballot. That’s right, I said 46th, Wilson was nominated, with Thomas Marshall, the governor of Indiana, as his running mate.
So that’s it? Oh heck no.
In 1912, Eugene Debs ran for President a 4th time, trying to keep together a Socialist Party that was also splintering. Debs was by this time a recognizable name across the nation, and his running mate was Emil Seidel, the former mayor of Milwaukee. The first ever Socialist mayor of an American city, as matter of fact.
The Prohibition Party responded to Eugene running again by having their Eugene run again. Eugene Chafin gave it a second try with Aaron Watkins again as his running mate.
The campaigns were dominated by the rivalry between Taft and Roosevelt, former friends who now seemed like bitter enemies. With those two fighting, the election looked to be a lock for Wilson, which was lucky for the Democrats because Wilson wasn’t the most charismatic person.

Welcome to the MAKING OF A NATION -- American history in VOA Special English.
This week in our series, we talk about the Presidential election of 1912.
The first 10 years of the 20th century in America were shaped by the strong leadership of President Theodore Roosevelt. And in the 2nd decade, he returned to national politics to bring, once more, dramatic changes to the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt was a distant cousin of Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat who became President in 1933.

War was soon to break out in Europe. The United States would enter the struggle in 1917.

Roosevelt was sure that it was a political decision. He never forgave Wilson for keeping him out of the war.
Although Roosevelt himself could not fight, 4 of his sons went into battle. One -- his youngest son Quentin -- did not return.

He suffered from painful attacks of inflammatory rheumatism and from a serious ear infection. He had difficulty in hearing and could not walk. But the old man was still cheerful. He spent his 60th birthday in the hospital. And to his family and friends, he "I am ahead of the game. Nobody ever packed more kinds of fun and interest into 60 years."
Death came to Roosevelt as he slept on the night of January 6th, 1919. Said Vice President Thomas, "Death had to take him sleeping. For if Roosevelt had been awake, there would have been a fight."

How much should the government do to curb the power of corporate capital? What restrictions should America place on foreign immigration? How should the nation respond to poverty and income inequality? Should the US be involved in foreign wars? All of these questions drove the extraordinary four-way race of 1912 between a Democrat, a Republican, a Socialist, and a former President — Teddy Roosevelt — who split from his party to run as an insurgent reformer. The results shifted the political balance of power and opened up new debates about the relationship between government and business, rich and poor, and America and the world.

Progressive stamping
Progressive stamping is a metalworking method that can encompass punching, coining, bending and several other ways of modifying metal raw material, combined with an automatic feeding system.
The feeding system pushes a strip of metal (as it unrolls from a coil) through all of the stations of a progressive stamping die. Each station performs one or more operations until a finished part is made. The final station is a cutoff operation, which separates the finished part from the carrying web. The carrying web, along with metal that is punched away in previous operations, is treated as scrap metal. Both are cut away, knocked down (or out of the dies) and then ejected from the die set, and in mass production are often transferred to scrap bins via underground scrap material conveyor belts.
The progressive stamping die is placed into a reciprocating stamping press. As the press moves up, the top die moves with it, which allows the material to feed. When the press moves down, the die closes and performs the stamping operation. With each stroke of the press, a completed part is removed from the die.
