... when we talk about the line of action, it is the line connecting the initial and final points of contact in a driving gear. In the simplest of terms, when two gears mesh, the first point of contact between them, which is called the initial point and is always on the addendum circle of the driven gear, and the final point of contact, which is always on the addendum circle of the driving gear, create a line. This tangent line, which goes through the pitch point, is the line of action. 2, record 1, English, - line%20of%20action

Steam explosions have been predicted to occur as a result of the contact of the melt with water available in the plenum.

A potential future Mars sample caching mission would acquire surface core samples with a rover and then store the samples in a canister that could be returned to Earth. The samples would likely be stored in individual sample tubes which are sealed. Significant care would be required to minimize contamination of the samples by Earth-source contaminants or by cross-contamination with material from other Mars sampling locations. Additionally, the system of sampling tool, sampling tool deployment device, and sample handling and encapsulation system would need to have minimal mass in order to fit on a small caching rover such as a MER-class rover. Past solutions have been problematic for various reasons including total system mass, sample contamination, or robustness. This problem applies to various potential future Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission architectures for returning samples from Mars to Earth including 1) a sample caching missionfollowed by a sample return mission where the caching mission rover would acquire and cache samples and a later sample return mission would have a fetch rover that retrieves the sample cache and return it to the landers Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) for return to Earth, 2) an Astrobiology Field Laboratory mission with caching which would provide the caching mission function while also including in-situ sample analysis, and 3) a combined sampling and return mission which would combine the sample caching and return to Earth functions. 2, record 12, English, - fetch%20rover

Following that, it was used for several years of algorithm development and testing, including autonomous rock grasping, and wheel-terrain contact estimation techniques.

Un exemplaire très similaire aux rovers actuels devait initialement partir vers la planète rouge en 2001 pour arpenter sa surface et commencer une collecte d'échantillons de roches et de sols. Un autre robot du même gabarit aurait du venir le rejoindre en 2003 pour continuer le travail.

Traditionally sintering(or growth of bonds) has first of all been considered as a slow process : bond growth primarily due to the transport of water molecules through the vapour phase... But under loading conditions initial sintering can happen within seconds. Accordingly, Gubler... designed an experiment to study the strength of bonds between ice grains after short contact times. The results support the idea that fast sintering gives some initial strength. 1, record 16, English, - fast%20sintering

Some cells become activated and are responsible for mediating cellular immunity or resulting in injury to host tissue(hypersensitivity reactions).
