CONT

Cognitive skills are concerned with analysis, interpretation and decision making processes required to perform the procedural tasks. Much of these processes run inside a human mind and therefore they do not lend themselves to direct imitation. The development of cognitive skills therefore largely relies on self-explanation. It is important for a learning system designer to consider acquisition of cognitive skills, and provide adequate adaptive mechanisms...

OBS

The classical mechanism of Hume depended primarily on relative prices. It seems to have assumed, essentially, that employment is always full : that in the long run, trade simply moved a society from one point on its domestic production-possibility frontier to another; that foreign trade never moved society inside its [production-possibility] frontier or pushed it outward toward that frontier from an initial underemployment equilibrium.

Le mécanisme automatique d'ajustement de la balance des paiements qui opérait est connu sous le nom de mécanisme de Hume. Un pays qui enregistre un déficit commercial va perdre de l'or au bénéfice de ses partenaires commerciaux, ce qui contracte son offre de monnaie et gonfle celle du reste du monde, hausse le taux d'intérêt national et favorise en retour un afflux de capitaux étrangers.

DEF

A web application designed to deliver the same features and functions normally associated with desktop applications.

OBS

RIAs generally split the processing across the Internet/network divide by locating the user interface and related activity and capability on the client side, and the data manipulation and operation on the application server side.

OBS

A RIA normally runs inside a web browser and usually does not require software installation on the client side to work. However, some RIAs may only work properly with one or more specific browsers. For security purposes, most RIAs run their client portions within a special isolated area of the client desktop called a sandbox. The sandbox limits visibility and access to the file and operating system on the client to the application server on the other side of the connection.

Subject field(s)
  • Signalling (Rail Transport)
  • Railroad Safety
CONT

The train stopped just inside Block 3 is protected by Signal A125, but only if the second train stops at the signal correctly. Should it run past the signal, it will get "tripped" by the trainstop of A125. However, there is insufficient room for the train to stop before it collides with the first train. The safe braking distance is too short. To overcome this situation, each signal is moved back a safe braking distance from the entrance to the block. This distance is called the overlap... The overlap now provides a safe braking distance for any train which overruns a signal so that there is no risk of it colliding with a stopped train in front.

Pasta machines. There are two basic types of machines that can be used to make homemade pasta-the roller type and the extruder type. Roller-type pasta machines come in hand-cranked and electric versions. Both come with several attachments-usually one pair of smooth rollers for rolling out the sheets of dough, and two notched pairs(one narrow and one wide) used to cut noodles. With this type of machine, the dough is run between the smooth rollers at increasingly thinner settings until it reaches the desired thickness. The sheets of dough are then fed through either pair of the notched rollers, which cut them into noodles. Some machines have additional attachments, such as crinkle-edge cutters for making lasagne noodles. Extruder pasta machines mix the dough inside the unit, then force it out through special plates with variously shaped perforations.

  • Track and Field
DEF

A style of start used in track and field ... when a race is run that incorporates one or both of the turns in the track. Basically, it sets the runners in the outer lanes a bit ahead (usually a few meters per lane) of the first lane.

OBS

The starting point in each lane is adjusted to compensate for the runners in the outer lanes having farther to go to reach the inside position on the track than those in the inside lanes. In events run entirely in lanes, the starting point in each lane is advanced from the same point on the track to compensate for the longer distance in the outside lanes. Thus, each competitor runs an equal distance from start to finish.(Canadian Amateur Track and Field Association).

Pour les épreuves se déroulant complètement en couloirs, la position normale de départ de chaque couloir est avancée en commençant au même point de la piste afin de compenser la distance plus longue des couloirs extérieurs. Ainsi, chaque concurrent parcourt une distance identique du départ à l'arrivée. (Fédération canadienne d'athlétisme amateur.

A journal or thrust bearing lubricated with gas.

CONT

The gas bearing gyro involved a spinning ball the size of a large marble, spinning inside a spherical housing that floated on a layer of gas. This greatly reduced contact and friction, allowing the gyro to run indefinitely. One such gyro had been put into motion in 1952 and was still spinning.

CONT

Usually the pipe or tubing is full of fluid, but in certain operations it is necessary to run the pipe or tubing nearly empty to maintain less pressure inside the pipe than in the annulus. In such cases, a cushion may be needed to prevent collapse of the pipe.

DEF

Fluid-fluid heat exchanger made of two concentric pipe sections; one fluid (such as a coolant) flows in the annular space between pipes, and the other fluid (such as hot process stream) flows through the inner pipe.

CONT

The condenser is also a Model no. 06036 shell and tube exchanger, identical to the reboiler with a few modifications : The baffles have been cut at the bottom where they meet the shell to allow condensate to flow out of the shell. The tube side has four passes for maximum heat transfer on the tube side. It is mounted nearly horizontally. The inlet end is a couple of inches higher than the outlet to allow condensate to drain out the low end. A few tubes have been removed at the top to give the vapor more room to distribute itself along the length of the shell. There is a vent on the shell side near the outlet end to allow non-condensable gases to leave. The vent gases pass through the inside of a 36" double pipe condenser so that any condensable gasses will condense out and run down the walls back into the condenser.

  • Energy Transformation

  • Wave-Energy Power Plants
CONT

A new device, developed in Norway, harnesses energy from the ocean waves using a vertically oscillating float connected to a piston pump. Possible applications range from desalination of seawater and clean water supply to fish farms, to electricity production using a turbo-generator. This wave energy conversion unit is being developed by the Norwegian company ConWEC AS... The ConWEC device absorbs wave energy by means of a float which oscillates up and down inside a cylindrical structure with a submerged opening through which waves can act. The energy in the waves is converted to mechanical energy by a pump with its piston rigidly connected to the float. Seawater can be pumped into an energy storage in the form of a pressure tank(or possibly an elevated water reservoir) from which a turbine can be run to complete the conversion to electrical energy.

Subject field(s)
  • Cycling
DEF

The distance between a bicycle’s bottom bracket and the ground.

CONT

Generally bikes with a short wheelbase, steep angles, and high bottom brackets are designed for manoeuvrability and sprinting; those with a longer wheelbase and shallow angles are designed for touring and easy riding. Angles today run from about 70° to 74°, wheel bases from 38" to 42", and bottom bracket heights from 10½" to 11". Steep angles apparently give better steering, short wheelbases give both a sharper turn for a given front-wheel angle and easier acceleration when sprinting. High bottom brackets enable you to take a turn at maximum speed and keep on pedaling without scraping the inside pedal on the ground.

CONT

The smaller frame’s bottom bracket height is higher, not because the rider wants it that way, but because the low bottom bracket would cause the down tube to interfere with the front wheel.
