Taiho was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. With a heavily armored hull and flight deck (a first for any Japanese carrier), she represented a major departure in Japanese carrier design and was expected to not only survive multiple bomb, torpedo or shell hits but also continue fighting effectively. Built by Kawasaki at Kobe, she was laid down on 10 July 1941, launched almost two years later on 7 April 1943 and finally commissioned on 7 March 1944. She was sunk on 19 June 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea after suffering a single torpedo hit from the American...

The Japanese program to develop nuclear weapons was conducted during World War II in response to the perceived threat of its enemies (principally the United States) obtaining such a weapon first and using it against Japan. Like the German nuclear weapons program, it suffered from an array of problems, and was ultimately unable to head off the Manhattan Project's development of the bombs that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August 1945. Today, Japan's nuclear energy infrastructure makes it eminently capable of constructing nuclear weapons at will. However, the de-militarization of Japan and the protection of the United States' nuclear umbrella have led to a strong policy of non-weaponization of nuclear technology. On the other...

Java Platform, Micro Edition, or Java ME, is a Java platform designed for mobile devices and embedded systems. Target devices range from industrial controls to mobile phones and set-top boxes. Java ME was formerly known as Java 2 Platform, Micro EditionJava ME was designed by Sun Microsystems; the platform replaced a similar technology, PersonalJava. Originally developed under the Java Community Process as JSR 68, the different flavors of Java ME have evolved in separate JSRs. Sun provides a reference implementation of the specification, but has tended not to provide free binary implementations of its Java ME runtime environment for mobile devices, rather relying on third parties to provide their own.As of 22 December 2006, the Java ME...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A jet blast deflector or blast fence is a safety device that redirects the high energy exhaust from a jet engine to prevent damage and injury. The structure must be strong enough to withstand heat and high speed air streams as well as dust and debris carried by the turbulent air. Without a deflector, jet blast can be dangerous to people, equipment and other aircraft. Jet blast deflectors range in complexity from stationary concrete, metal or fiberglass fences to heavy panels that are raised and lowered by hydraulic arms and actively cooled. Blast deflectors can be used as protection from helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft propwash and from rocket engine exhaust. At airports and jet engine...

CFD analysis has been done to predict the mass suction into a cylindrical louvered funnel as a function of louvers opening area, diameter of the funnel and the protrusion length of the nozzle into the funnel.Optimum funnel diameter, protrusion length of the nozzle and height of the funnel has been predicted to obtain maximum air suction into the funnel. The entrance length for the sucking funnel has also been predicted as a function of the louvers opening area, diameter of the funnel and the nozzle inlet temperature. Scaled down experimental models have been made to validate the CFD analysis which could predict the mass suction rate, the maximum suction and the optimum diameter of the funnel. Mathematical correlations have been developed...

Maintaining a clean diamond can sometimes be difficult, as jewelry settings can obstruct cleaning efforts, and oils, grease, and other hydrophobic materials adhere well to a diamond's surface. Some jewelers provide their customers with sudsy ammonia cleaning kits. Many jewelers use steam cleaners. Some other jewelers sell small ultrasonic cleaners. Home-based cleaning methods include immersing the diamond in ammonia- based or ethyl alcohol-based solutions, or even a solution of mild grease dissolving detergent and warm water. Silver jewelry can be cleaned using aluminum foil, baking soda, and hot water....

A jig is any of a large class of tools in woodworking, metalworking, and some other crafts that help to control the location or motion of a tool. Some types of jigs are also called templates or guides. The primary purpose for a jig is for repeatability and exact duplication of a part for reproduction. An example of a jig is when a key is duplicated, the original is used as a jig so the new key can have the same path as the old one. Since the advent of automation and CNC machines, jigs are often not required because the tool path is digitally programmed and stored in memory. Jigs may be made for reforming plastics. Jigs or templates have been known long before the industrial age. There are many types of jigs, and each one is...
