Product Description


The worlds largest metrology company was founded in 1934 by Yehan Numata with one product, the micrometer. Mitutoyos original vision was to make the best mechanical micrometers in the world and to produce them in quantities that made them affordable. This vision was expanded in the next several decades to include a wider product offering focused on mechanical, dimensional gaging products. Mitutoyo focused its research and development, and production efforts on creating the most advanced micrometers, calipers, indicators and other measurement tools in the world. As electronic technology became more widespread in the 70s, Mitutoyo began to manufacturer digital, measuring tools. As statistical process control (SPC) was introduced, Mitutoyo led the world in the development of output gages, interfaces, data collectors and analysis software to take advantage of this new metrology science. When the computer made its way into the field of metrology, Mitutoyo again shifted its focus to include this technology into its product offering, and began to push measuring accuracies into the sub-micron range. Today, Mitutoyo presents its 6000 plus products as integrated, computer-based metrology systems that can be interconnected to form closed-loop-measuring networks. Mitutoyo America Corporation was formed in 1963 and is headquartered in Aurora, Illinois (just outside of Chicago). As the leading metrology company in the world, Mitutoyo is committed to future product development that applies breakthrough technologies to its full range of dimensional measurement tools, instruments and systems.

  • Absolute Monarchy Of Louis Xiv : The Culture of Merit Nobility Royal Service and the Making of Absolute Monarchy in France 16001789 Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Civilization

    Printed Propaganda Under Louis XIV Absolute Monarchy and Public Opinion
    Binding: Hardcover
    Studio: Princeton Univ Pr
    The eighteenth century's critique of privilege and its commitment to the idea of advancement by merit are widely regarded as sources of modernity. But if meritocratic values were indeed the product of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, how do we explain earlier attention to merit--especially the nobility whose values the Revolution rejected? The Culture of Merit probes this paradox by analyzing changing perceptions of merit among the old nobility from the age of Louis XIII to the eve of the French Revolution.Jay M. Smith argues that the early modern nobility instinctively drew a correlation between the meaning of merit and an image of the "sovereign's gaze." In the early seventeenth century, merit meant the qualities traditionally associated with aristocratic values: generosity, fidelity, and honor. Nobles sought to display those qualities before the appreciative gaze of the king himself. But the expansion of the monarchy forced the routinization of the sovereign's gaze, and Louis XIV began to affirm and reward new qualities--talent and application--besides those thought innately noble.The contradictions implicit within the absolute monarchy's culture of merit are demonstrated by the eighteenth-century French army, which was dominated by the nobility, but also committed to efficiency and expertise. Smith shows that the army's continuous efforts to encourage and reward "merit" led to a clash of principles. The ever-growing emphasis on talent and discipline led reformers--the great majority of them noble--to attack the most egregious examples of privilege and favoritism in the army. Smith's analysis of the long-term evolution in conceptions of royal service suggests a new explanation for the shift in values signified by the French Revolution. The transition away from the "personal" gaze of the king toward the "public" gaze of the monarchy and nation foretold the triumph of a new culture of merit in which noble birth would have no meaning.The Culture of Merit will interest historians and other social scientists concerned with issues of aristocratic identity, state formation, professionalization, and the changing political culture of pre-Revolutionary France.Jay M.

    Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIVs France FrancheComt and Absolute Monarchy 16741715 Changing Perspectives on Early Modern Europe
    Binding: Hardcover
    Studio: University of Rochester Press
    Driven by a desire for glory and renown, Louis XIV presided over France's last great burst of territorial expansion in Europe. During the first three decades of his rule, his armies conquered numerous territories along France's borders. After 1688, however, the tide of conquest turned as the kingdom was plunged into crisis. For the remainder of his reign, the king and his people endured wars against grand alliances of European powers, ecological disasters, economic depression, state bankruptcy, and demographic stagnation. Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France examines these central yet understudied aspects of the age of the Sun King through the experience of Franche-Comté, a possession of the Spanish empire with a long history of autonomy, conquered by Louis XIV in 1674. Dee's detailed research reconstructs the ensuing dialogue -- sometimes harmonious, sometimes discordant -- between the king and the elites who ruled this province. The integration of Franche-Comté into France proved to be a protracted process involving confrontation, negotiation, and compromise. The resulting regime was then severely tested by the challenges of Louis XIV's late reign; its survival demonstrated how the king had brought a distinctly early modern state to the height of its development. This study offers significant new insights on the growth of the territorial state in early modern Europe, the nature of the French absolute monarchy, and the political legacy of the Sun King.

    Absolute Power

    Amazon.com essential video


    Director Clint Eastwoods 1997 box-office hit stars himself as Luther Whitney, a highly skilled thief who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing the murder of a woman involved in a secret tryst with the U.S. president (played by Gene Hackman). Determined to clear his name, Whitney cleverly eludes a tenacious detective (Ed Harris) while investigating a corruption of power reaching to the highest level of government. Adapted by veteran screenwriter William Goldman from David Baldaccis novel, this thriller balances expert suspense with well-drawn characters and an intelligent plot thats just a pounding heartbeat away from real White House headlines. Absolute Power features the great Judy Davis in a memorable supporting role as the White House chief of staff who desperately attempts to cover up the crime. --Jeff Shannon

    Customer ReviewsIt has something missing
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :0
    First, I must say that I am a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, since his early days as the man with no name.....
    I bought this movie without even watching it once, I saw the actors list and read the plot on the back of the dvd and thought to myself "This got to be the hell of a movie".
    After finishing I didnt think the same. I mean, it has great actors and the story is great but it has something missing for my opinion, things get smooth really easy at the end.
    However I havent regreted the fact of buying it, is a good movie, not just as good as you could imagine.
    The caracter played by Eastwood is, opposite to what you may think a great father, and he would do anything to protect his daughter.
    Ed Hackmans caracter is a coward hidding behind secret services... I love him when he loses (like in Runaway Jury for example).

    Anyway, just watch the movie and since is a Eastwood movie, you already know who will win at the end........

    Absolute Power DVD

    Absolute Power, based on the book, Absolute Power was made in 1997(remember that date). In the movie Clint Eastwood plays a master thief who steals to support his art. He happens to break into a Washington D.C. mansion to burglarize the walk-in safe when he witnesses the murder of a very powerful mans wife through the one-way mirror.

    Eastwood directs and produced this movie. One wonders if he was, also, the key grip for the movie, whatever that is.

    Remember the date? Guess who was President then. Hint, his initials were W.J.C.

    Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
    When first we practice to deceive.

    Highly recommended for fans of Clint Eastwood.

    Totally unbelievable but still great cinema !
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0
    This film is one of my all time Clint Eastwood favorites. He plays the kind of semi bad guy that you root for. You almost hope he pulls off the big heist and gets away with it and lives happily ever after because he is Clint. If you can accept the fact that this plot borders on total fantasy, could never happen and defies logic time and time again, you will enjoy the scenario. Lennie Niehaus film score is perfect in creating the eery and sinister mood throughout the film and Clints own playing of the piano theme is beautiful and haunting. Gene Hackman as the president is truly the screens best on screen bad guy and Ed Harris is his usual natural and believable self as the "live alone" head detective. With that being said you must ask yourself: Why and how were the presidents trysts unaccounted for by his staff and the media? When E.G. Marshalls wife was murdered there was apparently no investigation even though he was very prominent. When Clint met his daughter at the outside cafe the whole area was surrounded by police but apparently Clint didnt see any of them. When the secret service man was killed in the hospital apparently no questions were asked and no investigation took place and Clint was never a suspect. When the president presumably committed suicide E.G. Marshall was never suspected even though he was the only witness and no questions were asked why the president fatally stabbed himself at that specific time. Minor details, right?

    Dont look for Dirty Harry here
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
    Absolute Power is about corruption - absolute power corrupts absolutely. Eastwood directs himself in this story of a very professional burglar who finds himself trapped in a closet while a murder is committed in the presence of none other than the American President. What is interesting about this fairly predictable plot is that he seems interested in portraying NOT Dirty Harry. The now aging Luther, having done his time and paid his debt to society, wants nothing more than to reconnect with his only child, a very successful attorney. She, on the other hand, disdains his overtures, knowing a tiger cannot change his stripes. The detective on the murder case convinces her to contact Luther but, not surprisingly, the bad guys have tapped her phone.
    Seeing Clints softer, human side was a pleasure. If you study his real life, you know he is highly intelligent and concerned with the good of others, and its satisfying to see those qualities on the screen.

    Studio: Yale University Press
    Glenn Burgess here presents a convincing reassessment of the turbulent politics of seventeenth-century England. He rejects as oversimplified and distorted the notion that a growing polarization between absolutists and constitutionalists led inevitably to civil war. Turning to the great body of common law, political opinions of key figures, and letters during the reigns of James I and Charles I, Burgess refocuses discussion on the real conflicts and human complexities of the time.

    I live in the Houston area and the squirrels are a huge problem for my bird feeders. I took a chance when I purchased this feeder. Within one week, the squirrels had knocked down the feeder and broken the top hinge. It is still usable, but it did not solve my squirrel problem and Im on to look for other feeders.

    Built Like a Tank
    Rating Point :4 Helpful Point :1
    Have two Heritage Farms bird feeders, both built slightly stronger than a tank. One is "squirrel-proof" and seems to live up to that claim. The other is an older non squirrel resistant model (18 yrs) still totally intact and doing the job after that many winters/summers at a harsh 8000 ft. altitude. For some reason, the birds like the older one better. But of course, so do the squirrels. Last winter, even a female elk thought it would be fun to bang her head against the feeder to loosen the sunflower seed. Would recommend Heritage Farms if you want virtually a lifetime investment however.

    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
    I bought this feeder through Amazon. This was my third attempt to get one that wouldnt primarily feed squirrels. The feeder is really great! I have watched the squirrels try to get into it and the cover just slides over the food. The feeder attracts a great variety of birds and hold about 10 lbs of feed at a time so you dont have to fill it very often. (the birds knock a lot of seed on the ground so theres plenty down there for squirrels). My feeder is hung from a tree branch and not mounted on the pole. My only wish: a better color or color options. But this is a great feeder and much better than anything you will find at your local Lowes or Home Depot.
