High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The yaw system of wind turbines is the component responsible for the orientation of the wind turbine rotor towards the wind. The task of orientating the rotor into the wind was a complicated issue already for historical windmills. The first windmills able to rotate in order to "face" the wind appeared in the mid-1700s. Their rotatable nacelles were mounted on the main structure of the windmill using primitive wooden gliding bearings lubricated with animal fat. The necessary yawing torque was created by means of animal power, human power or even wind power (implementation of an auxiliary rotor known as fantail). Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) do not need a yaw system since their vertical...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yaxham Light Railway is a narrow gauge light railway situated adjacent to Yaxham railway station on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. It is located in the village of Yaxham in the English county of Norfolk. Mr D.C. Potter opened the site's first narrow gauge line in the former goods yard in 1967. This was constructed for his Hunslet 0-4-0ST, "Cackler", and the disused tracks of this line can still be seen from passing trains on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. In 1969 the loco was moved across the standard gauge line to the Yaxham Park Light Railway (YPLR), which ran for over 1/2 a mile in meadows beyond the station, eventually being replaced by today's Yaxham Light Railway. The railway has a gauge of 2 ft (610...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Northrop's first post-war civil design was a three-engined STOL passenger and cargo transport named the Northrop N-23 Pioneer. The Pioneer could carry 36 passengers or five tons of cargo and first flew on 21 December 1946. The aircraft had a good performance, but there was little interest due to the availability of cheap war surplus aircraft. The Pioneer was lost in a fatal crash in 1947. In 1948 the United States Air Force expressed interest in an aircraft of the same configuration and placed an order with Northrop for 23 aircraft, 13 troop transports designated the C-125A Raider and 10 for Arctic rescue work designated the C-125B. With the company designation N-32 Raider the first aircraft...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! YCbCr or Y?CbCr is a family of color spaces used as a part of the color image pipeline in video and digital photography systems. Y? is the luma component and CB and CR are the blue-difference and red-difference chroma components. Y? (with prime) is distinguished from Y which is luminance, meaning that light intensity is non-linearly encoded using gamma. Y?CbCr is not an absolute color space, it is a way of encoding RGB information. The actual color displayed depends on the actual RGB colorants used to display the signal. Therefore a value expressed as Y?CbCr is only predictable if standard RGB colorants or an ICC profile are used. Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yealmpton station was a stone built railway station in Devon, and was the terminus of the Plymouth to Yealmpton Branch built to the south and across the River Yealm from the town of Yealmpton. From 1898 to 1960, Yealmpton was the terminus of the Yealmpton to Plymouth branch railway line. The line was built by the Great Western Railway. In its early days the line carried passengers and freight. The growth in the number of motor cars and buses led to reducing passenger traffic in the 1920s and passenger services ceased on the line in 1930. From then until 1941, only freight traffic ran on the line. Passenger services were restored in 1941, as villages such as Yealmpton were then being used as...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the millennium bug, the Y2K bug, or simply Y2K) was a notable problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits. In computer program design, the practice of representing the year with two digits becomes problematic with logical error(s) arising upon "rollover" from x99 to x00. This has caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after January 1, 2000 and on other critical dates which were billed "event horizons". Without corrective action, it was suggested that...
