Although Huffman dabbled in the high-end of the market, they never overcame their entry-level reputation. Bicycles sold under the Huffy brand are now made in China. In 1949, Huffman developed the Huffy Convertible, which was a children's bicycle with rear training wheels and foot steps. The invention of the training wheels revolutionized the market for children's bicycles, and this was the first Huffman bicycle under the Huffy brand. By 1953, a Huffy logo was created and Huffman switched all its bicycles to the Huffy brand. A few of the

In 1970 Huffman deleted their three-bar frame and went to a two-bar Rail frame, eventually adding additional two-tone fade paint jobs along with Persons striped seats. These designs continued in production until 1971 when new safety and manufacturing restrictions from the BMA (Bicycle Manufacturers Association), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other U.S. federal agencies forced the discontinuance of the "Wheel", the top-tube mounted "stick-shift", the "sissy bar", and many other stylized features of children's bicycle designs. In 1970, the Huffy Corporation was founded as an umbrella company to house the Huffy Bicycle division, as well

Huffman purchased YLCE (Yorba Linda Cycle Enterprises) and converted that Southern California Company to a national service company, assembling bicycles and other products for mass merchants such as KMart, Target, Sears, and Walmart. Other divisions were purchased and added to the Huffman stable of companies, including Gerry Baby Products (Denver), Washington Inventory Service (San Diego), Raleigh Bicycle USA (Kent, WA), and True Temper Garden Products (Pennsylvania). In 1977 the company name was changed from Huffman Manufacturing Company to Huffy Corporation. The growth of the corporation during the 1980s was significant and Huffy

In the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, United States athletes riding Serotta-built bicycles racing under the Huffy brand won two gold medals, two silver medals, and one bronze medal. A technical development center housed in the Huffy Corporate Offices in Dayton, Ohio was formed to research and create next-generation carbon fiber road and time trial bicycles. It was led by Mike Melton and Steve Bishop, two legendary custom bicycle builders. Sponsorship of world class and professional cyclists was only partially effective, as famous teams and riders, such

The subsequent fallout in the cycling community was devastating to Huffy, but not surprising considering the nature of the athletes involved. Huffy spent $500,000 to be named the Official Bicycle of the 1996 World Cycling Championships, held in Colorado Springs, the first time the World Championships has been held in the United States. Huffy Bicycles had manufacturing and assembly facilities in Azusa, California (closed in the late 1970s), and Ponca

Even with Huffy's other non-unionized manufacturing plants, it could not make a profit selling bicycles at the prices Wal Mart, its biggest customer, was willing to pay. After requesting and getting a pay cut for its unionized workforce in Ohio, Huffy returned to profitability for two years only to again crumple under the pricing pressure applied by Wal Mart. This forced Huffy to close its Celina, Ohio plant and lay off all 935


title: Huffy content: bicycle manufacturing plants (in Farmington, MO. and Southhaven, MS.) which had been opened as a last-ditch effort to avoid the higher union manufacturing costs in Ohio. After it became apparent that continued U.S. production of low-cost, mass-market bicycles was no longer viable, Huffy had bicycles built by plants in Mexico and China, starting in 1999. The relationship with the Mexican plant was severed shortly thereafter. In federal bankruptcy court in Dayton, Ohio, in 2004, Huffy's assets were turned over to its Chinese creditors. In 2004, Huffy sold its Huffy Sports division to Russell Corporation. Huffy Sports manufactured sporting goods, including


title: Huffy content: the Hydra-Rib basketball systems used by the NBA. By 2006, Huffy had sold more than 100 million bicycles. After years of struggling against the cut-rate Chinese bicycles that set the price target guiding Wal Mart, Huffy essentially had become a Chinese-owned company. Today, the design, product development and marketing (majority of all business functions) for Huffy is based in Dayton, Ohio. Manufacturing is based outside of the U.S. Crown Equipment Corporation now uses the former Huffy U.S. bicycle factory in Celina, Ohio, to produce forklifts. On August 13, 2004, Huffy announced that its financial statements had accounting irregularities. The price

Finally, on October 20, 2004, Huffy announced that the Huffy Corporation and all its United States and Canadian subsidiaries would file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The accounting irregularities included the corporate (mis)use of pension funds.

In the 1980s, Tropicana made history by being the first company to be acquired by The Seagram Company, Ltd.. In the decade that followed, they introduced new juice beverage creations, including the orange line of bottled and frozen juice blends.

Fetch (geography) The fetch, also called the fetch length, is the length of water over which a given wind has blown. Fetch is used in geography and meteorology and its effects are usually associated with sea state and when it reaches shore it is the main factor that creates storm surge which leads to coastal erosion and flooding. It also plays a large part in longshore drift as well. Fetch length, along with the wind speed (wind strength), determines

title: "Log–log plot" content: Log–log plot In science and engineering, a log–log graph or log–log plot is a two-dimensional graph of numerical data that uses logarithmic scales on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Monomials – relationships of the form formula_1 – appear as straight lines in a log–log graph, with the power term corresponding to the slope, and the constant term corresponding to the intercept of the line. Thus these graphs are very useful for recognizing these relationships and estimating parameters. Any base can be used for the logarithm, though most common are 10, e, and 2. Given a monomial equation formula_2 taking


title: "Log–log plot" content: the logarithm of the equation (with any base) yields: Setting formula_4 and formula_5 which corresponds to using a log–log graph, yields the equation: where "m" = "k" is the slope of the line (gradient) and "b" = log "a" is the intercept on the (log "y")-axis, meaning where log "x" = 0, so, reversing the logs, "a" is the "y" value corresponding to "x" = 1. The equation for a line on a log–log scale would be: where "m" is the slope and "b" is the intercept point on the log plot. To find the slope of the plot, two


title: "Log–log plot" content: points are selected on the "x"-axis, say "x" and "x". Using the above equation: and The slope "m" is found taking the difference: where "F" is shorthand for "F" ( "x" ) and "F" is shorthand for "F" ( "x" ). The figure at right illustrates the formula. Notice that the slope in the example of the figure is "negative". The formula also provides a negative slope, as can be seen from the following property of the logarithm: The above procedure now is reversed to find the form of the function "F"("x") using its (assumed) known log–log plot. To find


title: "Log–log plot" content: the function "F", pick some "fixed point" ("x", "F"), where "F" is shorthand for "F"("x"), somewhere on the straight line in the above graph, and further some other "arbitrary point" ("x", "F") on the same graph. Then from the slope formula above: which leads to Notice that 10 = "F". Therefore, the logs can be inverted to find: or which means that In other words, "F" is proportional to "x" to the power of the slope of the straight line of its log–log graph. Specifically, a straight line on a log–log plot containing points ("F", "x") and ("F", "x") will


title: "Log–log plot" content: have the function: Of course, the inverse is true too: any function of the form will have a straight line as its log–log graph representation, where the slope of the line is "m". To calculate the area under a continuous, straight-line segment of a log–log plot (or estimating an area of an almost-straight line), take the function defined previously and integrate it. Since it is only operating on a definite integral (two defined endpoints), the area A under the plot takes the form Rearranging the original equation and plugging in the fixed point values, it is found that Substituting back

Specifications such as this are used frequently in economics. One example is the estimation of money demand functions based on inventory theory, in which it can be assumed that money demand at time "t" is given by where "M" is the real quantity of money held by the public, "R" is the rate of return on an alternative, higher yielding asset in


title: "Log–log plot" content: excess of that on money, "Y" is the public's real income, "U" is an error term assumed to be lognormally distributed, "A" is a scale parameter to be estimated, and "b" and "c" are elasticity parameters to be estimated. Taking logs yields where "m" = log "M", "a" = log "A", "r" = log "R", "y" = log "Y", and "u" = log "U" with "u" being normally distributed. This equation can be estimated using ordinary least squares. Another economic example is the estimation of a firm's Cobb–Douglas production function, which is the right side of the equation in which


title: "Log–log plot" content: "Q" is the quantity of output that can be produced per month, "N" is the number of hours of labor employed in production per month, "K" is the number of hours of physical capital utilized per month, "U" is an error term assumed to be lognormally distributed, and "A", formula_32, and formula_33 are parameters to be estimated. Taking logs gives the linear regression equation where "q" = log "Q", "a"=log "A", "n"=log "N", "k"=log "K", and "u"=log "U". Log–log regression can also be used to estimate the fractal dimension of a naturally occurring fractal. However, going in the other direction


title: "Log–log plot" content: – observing that data appears as an approximate line on a log–log scale and concluding that the data follows a power law – is invalid. In fact, many other functional forms appear approximately linear on the log–log scale, and simply evaluating the goodness of fit of a linear regression on logged data using the coefficient of determination ("R") may be invalid, as the assumptions of the linear regression model, such as Gaussian error, may not be satisfied; in addition, tests of fit of the log–log form may exhibit low statistical power, as these tests may have low likelihood of rejecting
