Lath and plaster is a building process used mainly for interior walls in Canada and the United States until the late 1950s. After the 1950s, drywall began to replace the lath and plaster process in the United States. In the United Kingdom, lath and plaster was used for some interior partition walls, but was mostly used in the construction of ceilings. In the UK, plasterboard became a more common ceiling construction from 1945 onwards. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии принт-он-деманд после...

A lathe is a machine tool which spins a block of material to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation. Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, and glassworking. Lathes can be used to shape pottery, the best-known design being the potter's wheel. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The material can be held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can be moved...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A metal lathe or metalworking lathe is a large class of lathes designed for precisely machining relatively hard materials. They were originally designed to machine metals; however, with the advent of plastics and other materials, and with their inherent versatility, they are used in a wide range of applications, and a broad range of materials. In machining jargon, where the larger context is already understood, they are usually simply called lathes, or else referred to by more-specific subtype names toolroom lathe, turret lathe, etc.. These rigid machine tools remove material from a rotating workpiece via the typically linear movements of various cutting tools, such as tool bits and drill bits....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A latrine is a communal space with multiple toilets designed for defecation and urination. Latrines allow for safer and more hygienic disposal of human waste than open defecation. They are used in rural areas and low-income urban communities, with significant use in the developing world. Many variations exist, but at its simplest, the reason for using a latrine is that waste is controlled and decomposed into safer by-products. Latrine is also a term commonly associated with the United States Armed Forces, specifically, the Army and Air Force for any point of entry facility where human waste is disposed of, which a civilian might call a bathroom or toilet, regardless of how modern or primitive...

A launch loop or Lofstrom loop is a design for a maglev cable transport system for orbital launch that would be around 2,000 km (1,240 mi) long and maintained at an altitude of up to 80 km (50 mi). A launch loop would be held up at this altitude by momentum of the belt as it circulates around the structure, in effect it transfers the weight of the structure onto a pair of magnetic bearings, one at each end, which support it. Launch loops are intended to achieve non-rocket spacelaunch of vehicles weighing 5 metric tons by electromagnetically accelerating them so that they are projected into Earth orbit or even beyond. This would be achieved by the flat part of the cable which forms an acceleration track above the atmosphere. Данное...

Textile in general and apparel in particular have the highest consumption throughout the world. There are several factors that determine what would be the actual requirement of expenditures on textiles. In all the factors; life of a garment is the most important factor. Here our focus would be on resin finish fabric which comes under the title of special finishes. A garment undergoes several washes during its life cycle. In every washing it is exposed to two factors, one is physical friction and second is the chemicals. Combine effects of physical friction and chemicals reduce the life of the garment. Resins are basically cross linkers which bind with the fabric surface and make a bond with fabric structure and spread over the fabric in...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! When using semiconductor detectors in harsh radiation environments, defects begin to appear in the semiconductor crystal lattice as atoms become displaced because of the interaction with the high-energy traversing particles. These defects, in the form of both lattice vacancies and atoms at interstitial sites, have the effect of temporarily trapping the electrons and holes which are created when ionizing particles pass through the detector. Since it is these electrons and holes which drifting under an electric field produce a signal announcing the passage of a particle, when large amounts of defects are produced, detector signal can be strongly reduced leading to an unusable (dead) detector....

An LC circuit is a resonant circuit or tuned circuit that consists of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C. When connected together, an electric current can alternate between them at the circuit's resonant frequency. LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal. They are key components in many applications such as oscillators, filters, tuners and frequency mixers. An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to resistance. For a model incorporating resistance see RLC circuit. Данное издание не является...

(1978-1982/1983) The Leader was the brainchild of weapons designer Charles St. George. What was unique about this endeavor was that Australia had never designed or manufactured its own commercial gas operated semi-automatic rifle. The Australian Army at the time used the L1A1(FN FAL), made at the Government Lithgow Small Arms Factory, and quantities of M16A1s. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Originally called laminated or carriage spring, a leaf spring is a simple form of spring, commonly used for the suspension in wheeled vehicles. It is also one of the oldest forms of springing, dating back to medieval times. The advantages of leaf spring over helical spring is that the end of the springs may be guided along a definite path. Sometimes referred to as a semi-elliptical spring or cart spring, it takes the form of a slender arc-shaped length of spring steel of rectangular cross-section. The center of the arc provides location for the axle, while tie holes are provided at either end for attaching to the vehicle body. For very heavy vehicles, a leaf spring can be made from several leaves stacked on top of each other in several...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A leaf blower is a gardening tool that propels air out of a nozzle to move yard debris such as leaves. Leaf blowers are usually powered by two-stroke engine or an electric motor, but four-stroke engines were recently introduced to partially address air pollution concerns. Leaf blowers are typically self contained handheld units, or backpack mounted units with a handheld wand. The latter is more ergonomic for prolonged use. Some units can also suck in leaves and small twigs via a vacuum, and shred them into a bag. In that role it is called a blower vac. The leaf blower was invented by Dom Quinto in the late 1950s. It was originally introduced to the United States as part of an agricultural...

Deployable speech translation (ST) systems typically need to be trained on (1) hundreds of hours of manually transcribed speech audio; (2) bi-lingual text corpora of manual translations, often comprising tens of millions of words; and (3) monolingual text corpora, often comprising hundreds of millions of words. Therefore, ST system development is very costly and requires months or even years of effort. Such a delay is unacceptable for many situations that call for rapid development of automatic ST solutions, as given by disaster relief operations or military operations. Urgency, combined with the absence of automatic ST solutions, consequently necessitates the deployment of interpreters in these situations. In this work, we develop...

Leather crafting is the practice of making leather into craft objects or works of art, using shaping techniques, coloring techniques or both. Leather dyeing usually involves the use of spirit or alcohol based dyes where alcohol quickly gets absorbed into moistened leather, carrying the pigment deep into the surface. "Hi-liters" and "Antiquing" stains can be used to add more definition to patterns. These have pigments that will break away from the higher points of a tooled piece and so pooling in the background areas give nice contrasts. Leaving parts unstained also provides a type of contrast.

The Lebel Model 1886 rifle is an 8mm bolt action rifle which entered service in the French Army in April 1887. Colonel Nicolas Lebel designed the new rifle's full metal jacket bullet only however his name has remained informally attached to the entire weapon. The Lebel rifle has the distinction of being the first rifle designed to use nitrocellulose-based the first practical smokeless gunpowder which had been invented by Paul Vieille in 1884. The Lebel was also the first military rifle to introduce, in 1901, a boat-tailed bullet as standard ammunition. "Balle D"'s better ballistic properties extended the extreme range of the Lebel rifle beyond 4000 yards. Данное издание не является оригинальным....
