The machines considered thus far are fixed and deterministic in that their responses to a particular input from a given initial state are always the same. Also, the input sequences that we have been applying to these machines have always had a particular representation associated with them....... the output is determined by the program and set of data applied, where the same program and the same data always give the same output. A stochastic automation or probabilistic machine on the other hand, has an output that is not necessarily the same for every application of the input.

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.

In traditional applications, wheel temperature detectors are generally set to alarm for elevated wheel temperatures above a predetermined threshold. Such elevated temperatures may result from defective brake rigging or brake control valves, applied hand brakes, or various other brake system defects. In recent years, railroads have begun looking for temperatures considerably lower than the average and using existing technology to monitor wheel temperatures on trains that have the brakes applied since low wheel temperature would give an indication of an inoperative or ineffective brake.

CONT

The second book of the set of works by the CIDECT [Committee International for the Development and the Study of Tubular construction] under the general title "Construction with Hollow Steel Sections" is dedicated to phenomena of instability : buckling, distortion, spreading. Because of the shape of its section and the particularly favourable distribution of matter in the straight section, a hollow profile, of circular or rectangular shape, behaves distinctly better than an open profile section under the demands of compression. In remaining within the limits of the relation of the diameter or the width of side divided by the thickness of partition, given in this dimensioning guide, the local hollow profile distortion can be disregarded. On the other hand, the resistance to spreading is, in practice, not verified because hollow profiles possess a distinctly larger polar rigidity than open section profiles.

Le second livre de la série mise en œuvre par la CIDECT [Comité International pour le Développement et l'Étude de la Construction Tubulaire] sous l'intitulé «Construire avec des profils creux en acier» est consacré aux phénomènes d'instabilité : flambement, voilement, déversement. À cause de la forme de sa section et de la distribution particulièrement favorable de la matière dans la section droite, un profil creux, de forme circulaire ou rectangulaire, se comporte nettement mieux qu'un profil ouvert sous des sollicitations de compressions. En restant dans les limites du rapport du diamètre ou de la largeur de côté divisé par l'épaisseur de paroi, données dans ce guide de dimensionnement, le voilement local des profils creux peut être négligé. D'autre part, la résistance en déversement n'est, en pratique, pas à vérifier car les profils creux possèdent une rigidité polaire nettement plus grande que celle des profils à section ouverte.

When the angle of ice steepens, and more security than the cross-body technique(piolet ramasse) provides is desirable, the axe is planted in the anchor position(piolet ancre)... : with the outside hand just above the spike, the axe is swung so that the pick is anchored in the ice in front and above the climber's head with the shaft parallel to the slope. The inside hand reaches up and grasps the axe head in the self-arrest position. By pulling down on the anchored axe, the climber steps up to a new in-balance position. A gentle and constant outward pull must be kept on the shaft to set the teeth and keep the axe locked into the ice. The axe is removed by pushing the shaft toward the ice and lifting the pick up and out of the ice.

When the slope becomes too steep to descend facing outward, the climber faces sideways and descends diagonally .... Footwork changes from the duck walk (en canard) to the same flat-foot technique which was used to ascend diagonally.

Dextre [Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator] is designed so that only one arm can move at a time in order to avoid self-collision, achieve greater stability and maintain operational similarity with Canadarm2. The greater stability is provided by the immobile arm, which is first commanded to anchor Dextre to an ISS [International Space Station] stabilization point. At the tip of each arm, we find a "hand", known technically as the Orbital Replacement Unit/Tool Changeout Mechanism(OTCM). The OTCM consists of a set of parallel retractable jaws, which serve to grip payloads and tools. Each OTCM is also equipped with a retractable motorized socket wrench to mate and demate mechanisms on-orbit, as well as lights and a black and white camera. Dextre lower body is equipped with a pair of pan/tilt colour cameras that allow astronauts aboard the ISS, and engineers on the ground, to monitor the task, which is out of direct eyesight.

Dextre [Manipulateur Agile Spécialisé] ne peut toutefois bouger qu'un bras à la fois afin d'éviter les autocollisions, d'assurer une plus grande stabilité et de conserver une similarité opérationnelle avec le Canadarm2. Sa grande stabilité lui vient du bras immobile qui est commandé pour ancrer Dextre à un point de stabilisation sur la Station spatiale internationale dès le début des activités. Au bout de chaque bras se trouve une «main», que l'on désigne techniquement par changeur d'outils et d'unités remplaçables sur orbite (OTCM). L'OTCM comprend un ensemble de mâchoires parallèles rétractables servant à la préhension de charges utiles et d'outils. Outre des lampes et une caméra noir et blanc, il est également équipé d'une clé à douilles motorisée et rétractable pour accoupler et désaccoupler des mécanismes sur orbite. La partie inférieure de Dextre est dotée d'une paire de caméras panoramiques basculantes couleur qui permettent aux astronautes de la Station et aux ingénieurs au sol de surveiller l'exécution d'une tâche qui ne se trouve pas directement dans leur champ de vision.

Then, based on experience a grip is chosen, the hand moves to the cup, manipulation occurs, drinking is performed, and the cup is set down again.
