High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A hubcap, wheel cover or wheel trim is a decorative disk on an automobile wheel that covers at least a central portion of the wheel. Cars with stamped steel wheels often use a full wheel cover that conceals the entire wheel. Cars with alloy wheels or styled steel wheels generally use smaller hubcaps, sometimes called center caps. Alternatively, wheel cover refers to an accessory covering an external rear-mounted spare tire (also known as a spare tire cover) found on some off-road or survival-type vehicles. The first hubcaps were more commonly known as dust or grease caps. These caps threaded onto the center hub on the wood, steel, or wire wheel. These were made from the beginning to 1932....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dr. Hugo Eckener (10 August 1868 – 14 August 1954) was the manager of the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin during the inter-war years, and also the commander of the famous Graf Zeppelin for most of its record-setting flights, including the first airship flight around the world, making him the most successful airship commander in history. He was also responsible for the construction of the most successful type of airships of all time. An anti-Nazi who was invited to campaign as a moderate in the German presidential elections, he was blacklisted by that regime and eventually sidelined.

Human-powered transport is the transport of person(s) and/or goods using human muscle power. Like animal-powered transport, human-powered transport has existed since time immemorial in the form of walking, running and swimming. Modern technology has allowed machines to enhance human-power. Although motorization has increased speed and load capacity, many forms of human-powered transport remain popular for reasons of lower cost, leisure, physical exercise and environmentalism. Human-powered transport is sometimes the only type available (especially in underdeveloped or inaccessible regions), and is considered an ideal form of sustainable transportation.

Several micro-generators have been developed in order to convert various forms of energy produced during environmental processes or human activities to electrical energy. This book examines the development of a device able to scavenge kinetic energy produced by daily human activities in order to provide adequate energy for charging the battery of a mobile apparatus. Several factors must be taken into account during the steps of the design process. The most appropriate type and design of the generator have been selected and optimized. The operation of the proposed device has been simulated by a model developed in SIMULINK including all the interacting mechanical and electrical subsystems. Various considerations have been stated about the...

This book is concerned with combining the perceptual abilities of mobile robots and human operators to execute tasks collaboratively. Systems which incorporate both human and robotic information sources have the potential to build complex world models, essential for both automated and human decision making. In this work, humans and robots are regarded as equal team members who interact and communicate on a peer-to-peer basis. Human-robot communication is addressed using probabilistic representations common in robotics. While communication can in general be bidirectional, this work focuses primarily on human-to-robot information flow. More specifically, the approach advocated in this book is to let robots fuse their sensor observations...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A human-powered helicopter is a helicopter designed to carry at least one person but limited to using only what power is provided by the person(s) on board, usually by pedaling. A high power-to-weight ratio is needed as in all helicopters. Such aircraft must be light and must have efficient rotary wings. Efficiency for human powered purposes means that the rotors must generate great lift but cause little drag, because drag consumes power. The Sikorsky Prize has not yet been awarded. It will be awarded to the first entry to reach an altitude of 3 meters (10 feet) during a flight lasting at least 60 seconds, while remaining in an area 10 meters square (36 feet square). Данное...

This project is a review of current literature in the area of the communication process. Specifically, it is a comparison between the different aspects of the human interpersonal communication process and the interactions that occurs between humans and machines. The purpose of this project is to determine whether the different aspects of human interpersonal communications are not only present in the interaction between humans and machines, but whether these aspects behave in a similar manner. This project contains an outline of the basic rhetoric for human interpersonal communication and for human-to-machine interaction. Examples of both types of processes are culled from both ancient and contemporary literature, then each individual...

A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the human body, allowing interaction with made-for-human tools or environments. In general humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, although some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for example, from the waist up. Some humanoid robots may also have a 'face', with 'eyes' and 'mouth'. Androids are humanoid robots built to aesthetically resemble a human. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a surgical technique involving small incisions performed by an endoscope and several long, thin instruments. MIS minimizes complications and speeds up recovery time compared to the traditional surgery. Unfortunately, from a surgeon’s perspective, MIS is much more challenging than conventional open surgery because of the limited vision and sensing feedbacks. In the last decade, we have witnessed dramatic increases in performance of computerized assisted system, achieved through increasing computational capabilities and advances in sensor designs. The objective of this research is to design and realize a novel prototype that advances the state of the art in surgical training, assessment, and guidance...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hunting weapons are weapons designed or used primarily for hunting game animals for food or sport, as distinct from defensive weapons or weapons used primarily in warfare. Since human beings are lacking in the natural weapons possessed by other predators, humans have a long history of making tools to overcome this shortcoming. The evolution of hunting weapons shows an ever increasing ability to extend the hunter's reach, while maintaining the ability to produce disabling or lethal wounds, allowing the hunter to capture the game.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The classical hunting oscillation is a swaying motion of a railway vehicle caused by the coning action on which the directional stability of an adhesion railway depends. It arises from the interaction of adhesion forces and inertial forces. At low speed adhesion dominates, but as the speed increases the adhesion forces and inertial forces become comparable in magnitude, and the oscillation begins at a critical speed. Above this speed the motion can be violent, damaging track and wheels, and potentially causing derailment. The problem would not occur on systems with a differential, although these tend to be rare on conventional trains which have their wheels in pairs fixed to the axles in what...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hushing is an ancient and historic mining method using a flood or torrent of water to reveal mineral veins. The method was applied in several ways, both in prospecting for ores, and for their exploitation. Mineral veins are often hidden below soil and sub-soil, which must be stripped away to discover the ore veins. A flood of water is very effective in moving soil as well as working the ore deposits when combined with other methods such as fire-setting. It was used during the formation and expansion of the Roman Empire from the first century BC on to the end of the empire. It was also widely used later, and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Hwasong-5 is a North Korean tactical ballistic missile derived from the Soviet R-17 Elbrus missile. It is one of several missiles with the NATO reporting name Scud. North Korea obtained its first R-17 missiles from Egypt in 1979 or 1980, in return for assistance during the Yom Kippur War. As relations with the Soviet Union were rather strained at the time, and Chinese assistance had proven unreliable, the North Koreans set about reverse engineering the Egyptian missiles. This process was accompanied by the construction of a missile- building infrastructure, of which the main elements were the 125 factory at Pyongyang, a research and development institute at Sanum-dong and the Musudan- ri...
