Samsung Gear

Samsung Gear is a line of wearable computing devices produced by Samsung Electronics. The line was first introduced with an Android smartwatch in September 2013 as a spin-off of its Galaxy smartphone and tablet range, and expanded at Mobile World Congress 2014 with a successor, the Tizen-based Gear 2, and the Gear Fit activity tracker.

Gear

A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque, in most cases with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape, and often also with that shape on the other gear. Two or more gears working in a sequence (train) are called a gear train or, in many cases, a transmission; such gear arrangements can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. The most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear; however, a gear can also mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, thereby producing translation instead of rotation.

The gears in a transmission are analogous to the wheels in a crossed belt pulley system. An advantage of gears is that the teeth of a gear prevent slippage.

When two gears mesh, and one gear is bigger than the other (even though the size of the teeth must match), a mechanical advantage is produced, with the rotational speeds and the torques of the two gears differing in an inverse relationship.

Jet O'Rourke is a Melbourne-based musician and Graduate of Architecture from Adelaide. He started performing in Adelaide and released a solo EP, Are Ya Gettin' On? which reached #93 on the ARIA Singles Chart and featured the single 'Fight the Good Fight'. He later relocated to Melbourne where he formed The Gear with Damian Gibson and Brett Wolfenden (later replaced by Leigh Baines and James Harding). The Gear won a spot on the Coke Live 'N Local tour and released an EP in 2005. The Gear EP was produced by 5- time Aria Award winnerPaul McKercher (You Am I, Little Birdy, Eskimo Joe, Augie March).

The Gear toured the United States and Canada during 2006 and 2007, most notably performing shows to audiences at Canadian Music Week (Toronto), and SXSW Austin, Texas. The band received added support and radio airplay on KROQ-FM from renowned L.A. DJ and pal Rodney Bingenheimer famed for discovering musical acts such as David Bowie, The Ramones, and Oasis.
