A tilt table test is used to evaluate the cause of unexplained fainting(syncope).... For a tilt table test, you begin by lying flat on a table. Straps are put around your body to hold you in place. After about 15 minutes of lying flat, the table is quickly tilted to raise your body to a head-up position-simulating a change in position from lying down to standing up. The table will then remain upright for up to 45 minutes, while your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored. This allows doctors to evaluate your body's cardiovascular response to the change in position. 5, record 1, English, - head%20up%20tilt%20test

The Forney Dual Fuel Horn Igniter assembly consists of a mounting plate, combination oil and gas gun, High Energy Spark Igniter (HESI), 6" combustion air tube, flame detector and horn. The mounting plate retains the oil/gas gun, HESI and flame detector guide pipe. The flame detector head is mounted on a 1" sight pipe which provides an unobstructed view of the flame inside the horn. 3, record 5, English, - sighting%20pipe

This fibre optic viewing head extension is particularly useful for solving the sighting problems associated with tilting or movable burners. The flame envelope from this type of burner can be tilted from a horizontal position up or down as much as 30 degrees. It would be impossible to follow this flame pattern with a fixed sighting through the wind-box. Welding the tip guide(lens end) of this viewing head extension to the movable air compartment nozzle solves this problem. This viewing head extension can also be used for those applications where it is impossible to find a clear unobstructed view of the flame using a standard sight pipe. Here again the viewing head extension is mounted inside the furnace for a clear unobstructed view of the flame. 4, record 5, English, - sighting%20pipe

The design of the self-loading skidding sled is very simple. It is used with an ATV to transport long-length logs and eliminates the manual loading of large stems. When tilted to a vertical position, the sled acts as a lever. When the ATV advances, the log is lifted automatically onto the bed. 1, record 6, English, - self%2Dloading%20skidding%20sled

The Changing Position of the Sun. The declination, and therefore the altitude, of the Sun varies with the time of year. Both are larger in the summer and smaller in the winter in the northern hemisphere. The reason for this is that the Earth's rotation axis is tilted at 23. 5° to it's orbital plane(the ecliptic in our sky). 2, record 7, English, - position%20of%20the%20sun
