High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A magnetic sail or magsail is a proposed method of spacecraft propulsion which would use a static magnetic field to deflect charged particles radiated by the Sun as a plasma wind, and thus impart momentum to accelerate the spacecraft. A magnetic sail could also thrust directly against planetary and solar magnetospheres.
Magnetic levitation technology has shown a great deal of promise for micromanipulation tasks. Due to the lack of mechanical contact, magnetic levitation systems are free of problems caused by friction, wear, sealing and lubrication. These advantages have made magnetic levitation systems a great candidate for clean room applications. In this work, a new large gap magnetic levitation system is designed, developed and successfully tested. The system is capable of levitating a 6.5(gr) permanent magnet in 3D space with an air gap of approximately 50(cm) with the traveling range of 20mm x 20mm x 30mm. The overall positioning accuracy of the system is 60 micro meters. With the aid of finite elements method, an optimal geometry for the magnetic...

The magnifying transmitter is an advanced version of the classic Tesla coil. It is a high power harmonic oscillator that Nikola Tesla proposed for the wireless transmission of electrical energy. In his autobiography, Tesla stated that "...I feel certain that of all my inventions, the Magnifying Transmitter will prove most important and valuable to future generations." The magnifying transmitter is an air-core, multiple-resonant transformer that can generate very high voltages. Tesla originally termed it self-regenerative resonant transformer, a term that is no longer in general use. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

The Magnus effect is the phenomenon whereby a spinning object flying in a fluid creates a whirlpool of fluid around itself, and experiences a force perpendicular to the line of motion. The overall behaviour is similar to that around an aerofoil (see lift force) with a circulation which is generated by the mechanical rotation, rather than by aerofoil action.

Dialup Users List (DUL), blocks of addresses that include many SOHO users. Relay Spam Stopper (RSS), spam relays, e.g. hijacked servers. Open Proxy Servers (OPS), naively open SMTP servers.

Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) involves fixing any sort of mechanical or electrical device should it become out of order or broken (known as repair, unscheduled or casualty maintenance). It also includes performing routine actions which keep the device in working order (known as scheduled maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising (preventive maintenance). MRO may be defined as, "All actions which have the objective of retaining or restoring an item in or to a state in which it can perform its required function. The actions include the combination of all technical and corresponding administrative,...

Excellence in maintenance performance is a strategic issue of capital intensive organizations but it requires effective measurement of maintenance performance. While performance measurement in general has been discussed extensively in the literature, few of such discussions focus on the maintenance function. This book presents the common practices of maintenance performance measurement and their deficiencies. It proposes the use of strategy driven balanced scorecards to optimize management of physical infrastructure assets. Through an action research involving two companies, the process of implementing the proposed approach to measuring maintenance performance was studied; the tools for the design and deployment of the maintenance...

In the last decades, there has been many attempts to create maintenance models for availability optimization. Most of them have concentrated on the availability aspect only without incorporating further aspects as logistics and profitability of the overall system. However, production system operator's main intention is to optimize the profitability of the production system and not the availability of the system. The proposed model is aimed overcoming those deficiencies. Main part of the work lies in the extended maintenance and failure module that offers a representation of different maintenance strategies but also incorporates the effect of over-maintaining and failed maintenance (maintenance induced failures). Based on that model,...

Maja Ivarsson, born 2 October 1979, is lead singer of the Swedish New Wave band The Sounds. The Sounds were formed in 1998 in Helsingborg, by childhood friends guitarist and vocalist Felix Rodriguez and bassist Johan Bengtsson, who later invited drummer Fredrik Nilsson on board. Ivarsson's striking presence and personality led to an invitation to be their lead singer. They met Jesper Anderberg during the Hultsfred Festival by chance and invited him to join their band. He plays piano, guitar, synthesizers and does back-up vocals. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Majestic is one of the first alternate reality games (ARGs), a type of game that blurs the line between in-game and out-of-game experiences. It debuted on July 31, 2001. While noted for its unusual concept, it did not fare well commercially and was discontinued in 2002. Majestic was a science fiction thriller based on a Majestic 12 shadow government conspiracy theory. As an ARG, the game was played by phone, email, AOL Instant Messenger, fax, and by visiting special websites. Gameplay frequently involved the player receiving clues that they would use to solve puzzles and unravel the story. All the messages were automated, with limited dialogue options, but AIM provided some interactive...

The Maksutov is a catadioptric telescope design that combines a spherical mirror with a weakly negative meniscus lens in a design that takes advantage of all the surfaces being nearly "spherically symmetrical". The negative lens is usually full diameter and placed at the entrance pupil of the telescope (commonly called a "corrector plate" or "meniscus corrector shell"). The design corrects the problems of off-axis aberrations such as coma found in reflecting telescopes while also correcting chromatic aberration. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

This book explores the level of understanding of identity management architecture along with its place in the literature and its use in industry. This book is based on research into a case study of eight Australian public sector agencies that had designed identity management systems. This case study identified the major elements of identity management systems and enabled the development of an Identity Management Architecture (IdMA). The IdMA was designed as a series of frameworks that integrates identity management into the existing policies, processes, workflows, technologies and data of an enterprise. Each framework combines one or more identity management elements, along with the relevant enterprise processes and workflows, into an...

This book provides ways for air traffic managers to better address airport capacity uncertainty in the airspace system. In particular, it discusses decision-making algorithms under uncertainty in ground delay programs (GDPs) for a single destination airport. The book proposes methods to model stochasticity in GDP operations and mechanisms to respond to conditions dynamically such that the overall system performance is optimized. The single airport ground holding problem with capacity uncertainty is modeled using two approaches: multi-stage stochastic integer programs with probabilistic capacity scenario trees and sequential decision dynamic programs with Markov capacity evolution processes. The stochastic programs require scenarios that...

In knowledge-based engineering, the inference engine plays an important part in the behaviour of the system. A flexible and adaptive execution scheme allows the designer to experiment with different modes of operation and selecting an appropriate one with respect to the initial data set and the execution goal. This book presents an extension of an existing research prototype software in the field of knowledge-based engineering, with the goal of building a reliable and easy to use dependency resolution engine. A discussion is included how the knowledge concepts and objects can be represented in an abstract mathematical form, converting at the same time the problem of dependency resolution to a more formally specified one. Some algorithms...
