Gear Terminology Question

[lumpyrugger]

I deal with European OEMs quite often and was wondering if anyone knows the difference between these three terms related to gearing specs:

Profile Shift
Profile Offset
Correction Factor

In the US we use "Profile Shift" to indicate how much the gear is to but cut under or over pitch diameter.
