Traditionally, piano benches are longer and wider. They’re designed to accommodate duets, offering ample space for two players to sit side by side comfortably. Piano benches tend to be sturdier and heavier, providing stability during intense practice sessions or performances.... On the other hand, piano stools are typically smaller and more compact. They may feature a cushioned or unpadded seat and are often lighter in weight. Piano stools come in various designs, with some featuring a single central leg and others boasting a set of legs closer together.

Subject field(s)
  • Vulcanology and Seismology
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
CONT

Volcanic craters are formed either by explosion or collapse.... Collapse craters are formed when the pressure of the molten rock, or magma, inside a volcano can no longer support the weight of the rock or lava above it. This may happen after most of the magma has been drained away during an eruption of the volcano. The material that is no longer supported collapses into the space previously occupied by the magma, thus forming a crater. Well-known examples of collapse craters are found on the summit of Mauna Loa in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Eruption craters are sometimes difficult to distinguish from collapse craters, but it is usually possible to find a surrounding layer of material that has erupted from the crater.

Another key challenge is that of size, weight and power consumption(SWAP). Many embedded systems are used in industries where there is constant additional pressure to reduce SWAP. Examples include medical imaging, where there is a push to develop portable diagnostic imaging systems enabling easier use and increased flexibility necessitating smaller, lighter processing solutions. In military and aerospace applications, many systems will be used in airborne, sea-going or land-based vehicles where space and payload for processing electronics is generally limited, as is the overall power consumption that can be supported.

The CargoLifter is an airship, which can carry up to 160t of freight like a crane. Goods up to the size of 12 x 5 x 5 m can be carried at a speed of 100 km/h. Maximum range is 10. 000 km.... The advantage of CargoLifter is, that transport can take place in rural areas with little or no infrastructure. Transport times are cut by a factor of 10 and the complexity of the project is reduced significantly.... The loading cycle will take about half a day to unload and 3/4 days to load. The CargoLifter can take 72 TEU in a box, but the weight volume ratio is very low(1 : 20). The weight alone would account for 136t or 85% of the payload. The remaining 44t can take 2800 cubic meters of space(weight to volume of 1 : 62).... CargoLifter will use marine diesel engines and propellers for thrust. Installed power is expected to be 9. 3 MW, for a top speed of 135 km/h. The average speed will be about 100 km/h, which requires about 5 MW and an hourly fuel consumption of 1 tonne(specific fuel burn approx. 200 g/kWh).

Kautex designs and manufactures blow-molded fuel tanks that are light weight, durable, and increase fuel economy and fuel storage capacity. A blow-molded, nonmetallic fuel tank can be up to 30% lighter than conventional steel tanks. Its one-piece construction can be molded in any shape or size to maximize available space within a vehicle.

  • Wastewater Treatment

CONT

While settling chambers and "skimmers" are simple in design and can be manufactured from almost any material, they are rarely used alone because of their large space requirements and relatively low collection efficiency. They rarely achieve an efficiency of dust removal higher than 50% by weight. The smallest particle that can be collected by the normal expansion chamber is about 40% [micrograms] in diameter. Multiple tray chambers and skimmers can ordinarily collect particles 15-20 [micrograms] in diameter or larger.

Record 38 1986-06-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydraulic Turbines
DEF

A type of undershot wheel which operates partly by impulse of water striking the vanes and partly by the weight of the water. The water passes through an orifice and strikes curved vanes, pushing them and rotating the wheel. The space in which the vanes travel is enclosed; the weight of water between two vanes further rotates the wheel from the point of entry to the bottom of the wheel, where the water is discharged.

DEF

Type de roue hydraulique dans laquelle l'eau est amenée environ à mi-hauteur. Elle est actionnée en partie par l'impulsion et en partie par le poids de l'eau descendant dans les augets.

Subject field(s)
  • Switchgear (Rail Transport)
OBS

System where the vehicle weight is distributed over two or more parallel paths(rails) in space, all of which are surfaces on one continuous member. Monobeam cars when swaying or negotiating curves will transfer weight between wheels on the parallel paths and, in some systems, will transfer weight to various guide wheels.
