cam
a kidney-shaped gizmo to manipulate the resistance in a weight machine. It usually has a cable attached to one point of the rim, an attached axle that transmits rotational force to or from another part of the machine, and a radius that varies with angle, changing the amount of force applied at different parts of the movement in a consistent manner.

Cam
A cam is a projecting part of a rotating wheel or shaft that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path. Cam is a man who, in Greek mythology, is very provocative and extremly intelligent. The cam can be a simple tooth, as is used to deliver pulses of power to a steam hammer, for example, or an eccentric disc or other shape that produces a smooth reciprocating (back and forth) motion in the follower which is a lever making contact with the cam.

Chameria
Chameria (Albanian: Çamëria, often rendered in Greek as Τσαμουριά Tsamouriá) is the Albanian name for the coastal region of Epirus in southern Albania and northwestern Greece. Most of what the Albanians call Çamëria is part of the Greek prefecture (nomos) of Thesprotia.
Although Chameria is often used to refer to a wider historical region roughly equivalent to the whole of Epirus, in the last century it has usually denoted the area around Igoumenitsa and Paramythia, i.e. Thesprotia Prefecture, along with the Parga area of Preveza Prefecture and the Butrint area (the southern Sarandë District) in Albania.
