High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fairbanks Morse and Company was a manufacturing company in the late 19th and early 20th century. Originally a weighing scale manufacturer, it later diversified into pumps, engines, windmills, locomotives and industrial supplies until it was merged in 1958. It used the trade name Fairbanks-Morse. There are three separate corporate entities that could be considered successors to the company, none of which represent a complete and direct descendant of the original company. All claim the heritage of the Fairbanks Morse and Company. Fairbanks Scales is a privately owned company in Kansas City, Missouri, that manufactures the scale lines. Fairbanks Morse Engine (FME) is a company based in Beloit,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Fairchild Hiller FH-1100 is a single-engine, single two-bladed rotor, light helicopter which began as a design entry into United States Army's Light Observation Helicopter program. The Hiller Model 1100 was not selected but after Hiller Aircraft was purchased by Fairchild Stratos in 1964, the Model 1100 was successful marketed as a civilian helicopter, the FH-1100. The type certificate is now held by the FH1100 Manufacturing Corporation of Century, Florida. In October 1960, the Army submitted a request for proposals for the Light Observation Helicopter. Hiller Aircraft, along with 12 other manufacturers, including Bell Helicopter and Hughes Tool Co. Aircraft Division, entered the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Fairchild F-27 and Fairchild Hiller FH-227 were versions of the Fokker F27 Friendship twin-engined turboprop passenger aircraft manufactured under license by Fairchild Hiller in the United States. The Fairchild F-27 (written with a dash) was similar to the standard Fokker F27, while the FH-227 was an independently-developed stretched version.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Fairey Barracuda was a British carrier-borne torpedo- and dive bomber used during the Second World War, the first of its type to be fabricated entirely from metal. It was introduced to the Fleet Air Arm as a replacement for the Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Albacore biplanes. It is notable for its role in attacking the German battleship Tirpitz and known for its unusual appearance when the undercarriage was extended and wings folded.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Fairey Albacore was a British single-engine carrier-borne biplane torpedo bomber built by Fairey Aviation between 1939 and 1943 for the Fleet Air Arm and used during the Second World War. It had a three- man crew and was designed for spotting and reconnaissance as well as delivering bombs and torpedoes. The Albacore, popularly known as the "Applecore", was conceived as a replacement for the aging Fairey Swordfish, which had entered service in 1936. However, the Albacore served with the Swordfish and was retired before it, being replaced by the Fairey Barracuda and Grumman Avenger monoplane torpedo bombers.

The Iranian-made Fajr-3 is believed to be a medium-range ballistic missile with an unknown range (estimated 2000 km, 1250 miles). Iranian officials have said that the missile can avoid radar detection and has multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles (MIRV). The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps unveiled the missile during the Holy Prophet wargames on March 31, 2006. Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force commander Gen. Hossein Salami announced on television "the successful test-firing of a new missile with greater technical and tactical capabilities than those previously produced." He also said that the missile would carry three warheads, and that each warhead would be capable of hitting its target precisely. He did not specify the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Falcon Heavy (FH), previously known as the Falcon 9 Heavy, is a spaceflight launch system being designed and manufactured by SpaceX. Both stages of the two-stage-to-orbit vehicle use liquid oxygen (LOX) and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) propellants, on a SpaceX-designed rocket engine, the Merlin 1D. Multiple variants are planned with payloads of 53,000 kilograms (120,000 lb) to low Earth orbit (LEO), and 12,000 kilograms (26,000 lb) to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO).

The Falcon 9 is a reusable two-stage-to-orbit, liquid oxygen (LOX) and rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) powered launch vehicle manufactured by SpaceX. It is scheduled to have its maiden launch in 2010. Multiple variants are planned with payloads of between 10,450 kg and 26,610 kg to low Earth orbit, and between 4,540 kg and 15,010 kg to geostationary transfer orbit. The Falcon 9 will be the launch vehicle for the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. The Falcon 9 and Dragon combination won a Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract from NASA to resupply the International Space Station under the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program. Currently SpaceX is holding a March 8th launch window for the maiden flight of Falcon 9. Данное...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A falling-block action is a single-shot firearm action in which a solid metal breechblock slides vertically in grooves cut into the breech of the rifle and actuated by a lever. When in the top position, it is locked and resists the force of recoil while sealing the chamber. In the lower position, it leaves the chamber open to be loaded by a cartridge from the rear. After loading, the lever returns the block to the top position to lock the breech in place to seal the chamber. Rifles using this action include the M1872 Mylonas, Sharps rifle, Farquharson rifle, 1890 Stevens, Sharps-Borchardt Model 1878, Winchester 1885, Browning M78 and Ruger No. 1. Данное издание не...

A mechanical fan is an electrically powered device used to produce an airflow for the purpose of creature comfort (particularly in the heat), ventilation, exhaust,cooling or any other gaseous transport. Mechanically, a fan can be any revolving vane or vanes used for producing air currents. Fans produce air flows with high volume and low pressure, as opposed to a gas compressor which produces high pressures at a comparatively low volume. A fan blade will often rotate when exposed to an air stream, and devices that take advantage of this, such as anemometers and wind turbines often have designs similar to that of a fan. Typical applications include climate control, cooling systems, personal comfort (e.g., an electric table fan),...

Fantasound was an early stereophonic sound process developed by sound engineer William E. Garity and sound mixer John N.A. Hawkins for the Walt Disney studio in 1938- 1940 for the motion picture Fantasia, making Fantasia the first commercial film with multichannel sound. It led to the development of what is today known as surround sound. The idea for Fantasound came from Walt Disney himself, who was displeased with the quality of conventional optical motion picture sound recording and playback systems, and from conductor Leopold Stokowski, who had participated in experimental stereophonic recordings in 1932 and a live, long-distance demonstration of multichannel sound in 1933. Stokowski had already recorded onto a nine-track sound system...

Two naturally produced in vivo affinity resin substitutes have been combined with a self-cleaving tag to develop two novel affinity-based purification technologies. The first resin alternative is polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules and the second is elastin-like polypeptides (ELP). An engineered tripartite protein fusion is expressed in E. coli and purified through simple centrifugation. The intein self-cleaving tag then releases the target protein with a mild pH shift. The two systems have been successfully used at laboratory scale to purify more than a dozen proteins varying in size, complexity and activity, demonstrating the proof of principle, high purity and yield attainable. Hence, the cost associated with purification of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Fast fuel system allows speedy refuelling of vehicles. Most large earthmoving and mining vehicles with diesel fuel tanks over 150 U.S. gallons (568 liters) are equipped with fast refueling systems. Fast refueling systems utilize an automatic shut off fuel nozzle, receiver and level control device. Fast refuel systems operate by connection of a fill nozzle to the vehicle's fuel tank and a source mounted pump delivers fuel into the tank at rates up to 150 U.S. gallons (568 liters) per minute. Fast fill systems in general allow for ground level refueling and automatic shut-off upon a full tank. Ground level refueling increases operator safety as climbing onto vehicles during refueling is not...
