High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ramsbottom Carbon Residue, which abbreviation is RCR, is well known in the petroleum industry as a method to calculate the carbon residue of a fuel. The carbon residue value is considered by some to give an approximate indication of the combustibility and deposit forming tendencies of the fuel. This method originated from Dr J.R. Ramsbottom in England. The Ramsbottom test (ASTM D-254) is used to measure carbon residues of an oil. In brief, the carbon residue of a fuel is the tendency to form carbon deposits under high temperature conditions in an inert atmosphere. This is an important value for the crude oil refinery, and usually one of the measurements in a crude oil assay. Данное...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ramsden theodolite is a large theodolite that was specially constructed for use in the first Ordnance Survey of Southern Britain. It was also known as the Great or 36 inch theodolite. The theodolite was commissioned from Jesse Ramsden, a leading Yorkshire instrument maker, who had developed an accurate dividing engine for graduating angular scales. The instrument was accurate to within a second of arc. The theodolite took three years to build and had a base circle of 3 ft (914 mm). The full survey, sometimes called the Principal Triangulation of Great Britain, was begun in 1791 by a team formed under General William Roy (d 1790). The survey used the new theodolite on a specially surveyed...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ramses II tank is a main battle tank designed for the armed forces of Egypt. A single T-54 was sent to the United States for upgrading. A primary prototype was sent to Egypt where extensive trials were completed in late 1987. The tank finally entered production in 2004-2005. 260 units have been produced with plans for additional units. The tank was originally called the T-54E ("E" stands for "Egyptian"). At early stages, the upgrade was concerned with the firepower and mobility of the tank solely, while latter stages included the improvement of the level of protection as well.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In railroad industry, the Ramsey Car Transfer Apparatus (Ramsey Transfer) was a proposed device to replace bogies on railroad cars to permit transfer of a train between railroad lines with different gauge. The Ramsey Transfer existed in a number of variations covered by several different patents. It was typically used to transfer cars between 4 ft 8 1/2 in (1,435 mm) (standard gauge) and narrow gauge (usually 3 ft /914 mm in width) track. Two parallel tracks of 1 ft 6 in (457 mm) were set approximately 9 feet (2.74 m) apart. Between these two tracks, the standard and narrow gauge tracks descended into a pit, one from each end of the pit, overlapping in the center and having a common center...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ramsgate tugs were a series of tugboats used at Ramsgate harbour since the 19th century. The harbour's development coincided with the growing use of the steam tugs that were then being built for the shipping industry. During this era a considerable amount of the work undertaken by the local boatmen was carried out by these tugs. The benefits of this in regard to the heavier ships in distress was inestimable, but nevertheless the salvage of wrecks soon became an intense and contested undertaking, offering substantial monetary rewards to the boatmen and the tugmen, who were otherwise ill-paid. Ramsgate's tugs became a regular feature in the harbour; unlike the lifeboats they were able haul...

A randoseru is a firm-sided backpack made of stitched firm leather or leather-like synthetic material, most commonly used in Japan by elementary schoolchildren. It measures roughly 30 cm high by 23 cm wide by 18 cm deep, and features a softer grade of leather or material on those surfaces which touch the body. When empty, the average randoseru weighs approximately 1.2 kilograms (about 2 1/2 pounds avoirdupois). The term randoseru is a borrowed word from the Dutch "ransel" meaning "backpack", a clue to its origins nearly 200 years ago as used in the Netherlands. The randoseru is the most universal and...

Random close packing (RCP) is an empirical parameter used to characterize the maximum volume fraction of solid objects obtained when they are packed randomly. For example, when a solid container is filled with grain, shaking the container will reduce the volume taken up by the objects, thus allowing more grain to be added to the container. In other words shaking increases the density of packed objects. Experiments have shown that the most compact way to pack spheres gives a maximum density of about 49-50%. Most recent research predicts analytically that the volume fraction filled by the solid objects in random...

The security of cryptographic systems depends on some secret data that is known to authorized persons but unknown and unpredictable to others. To achieve this unpredictability, some randomization is typically employed. Modern cryptographic protocols often require frequent generation of random quantities (see also nonce). Quality in the random number generation (RNG) process is almost always required for security, and lack of quality generally provides attack vulnerabilities and so to lack of security, even to complete compromise, in cryptographic systems. The RNG process is particularly attractive to attackers...

A random wire antenna (or long-wire antenna) is a radio frequency antenna consisting of a wire whose length does not bear a relation to the wavelength of the radio waves used, but is typically chosen more for convenience. This type of antenna sometimes is called the zig-zag antenna, as it may be strung back and forth between trees just to get enough wire into the air. For example, an antenna for 3MHz might be 20 m (66 ft) - 40 m (131 ft) long. Such antennas are usually not as effective as antennas whose length is adjusted to resonate at the wavelength to be used. They are widely used as receiving antennas on the...

Random orbit sanders, also called Dual-Action or D.A. sanders (referring to the rotation of the disk and the head) are hand-held power sanders where the action is a random orbit. They were first introduced in the early 1990s and quickly became tremendously popular. Random orbit sanders combine almost the speed and aggressiveness of a belt sander, with the ability to produce a finer finish than that available from a standard, slow speed, orbital finishing sander. The random orbit is produced by simultaneously spinning the sanding disk and moving it in an ellipse, which ensures that no single part of the abrasive...

A random laser uses no optical cavity but the remaining principles of operation remain the same as for a conventional laser. Random laser action has been observed in many different media, including semiconductor powder, nanostructured and non-nanostructured thin films, laser dyes, ceramics and many more. Developments in nanoparticles have demonstrated large amounts of optical scattering can occur when photons are incident. In this way, light can be diffused around a medium in much the same way as it is on white paint and in clouds. If nano...

An algorithm that converts an input string into a seemingly random output string of the same length (e.g., by pseudo-randomly selecting bits to invert), thus avoiding long sequences of bits of the same value; in this context, a randomizer is also referred to as a scrambler. 2. An analog or digital source of unpredictable (i.e., high entropy), unbiased, and usually independent (i.e., random) output bits. A "truly" random generator may be used to feed a (more practical) deterministic pseudo-random random number generator, which extends the random...
