Well drilling is an important process for extracting oil, natural gas, water, and mineral materials. Opening wells requires boring through earth formations, which requires specialized tools and operation procedures. Rotary drilling, in which a drill bit is used to crush the rock and penetrate into the formation, is one of the main methods of well drilling. Rotary cone bits are one of the main types of drill bits used for rotary drilling. There are two main problems encountered when drilling with rotary cone bits. Excessive vibration can cause damage to the entire system and can decrease efficiency of the drilling process. Failure of the bit’s bearings and seals can also result in damage to the bit and cessation of the drilling process....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rotary vacuum filter drum consists of a drum rotating in a tub of liquid to be filtered. The technique is well suited to high solids liquids that would blind or block other forms of filter. The drum is pre-coated with a filter aid, typically of diatomaceous earth (DE) or Perlite. After pre-coat has been applied, the liquid to be filtered is sent to the tub below the drum. The drum rotates through the liquid and the vacuum sucks liquid and solids onto the drum pre-coat surface, the liquid portion is "sucked" by the vacuum through the filter media to the internal portion of the drum, and the filtrate pumped away.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mechanics and geometry, the rotation group is the group of all rotations about the origin of three-dimensional Euclidean space R3 under the operation of composition. By definition, a rotation about the origin is a linear transformation that preserves length of vectors (it is an isometry) and preserves orientation (i.e. handedness) of space. A length-preserving transformation which reverses orientation is called an improper rotation. Every improper rotation of three-dimensional Euclidean space is a reflection in a plane through the origin. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In cryptography, a rotor machine is an electro-mechanical device used for encrypting and decrypting secret messages. Rotor machines were the cryptographic state-of-the-art for a brief but prominent period of history; they were in widespread use in the 1930s–1950s. The most famous example is the Enigma machine. The primary component is a set of rotors, also termed wheels or drums, which are rotating disks with an array of electrical contacts on either side. The wiring between the contacts implements a fixed substitution of letters, scrambling them in some complex fashion. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Round-robin (RR) is one of the simplest scheduling algorithms for processes in an operating system, which assigns time slices to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority. Round-robin scheduling is both simple and easy to implement, and starvation-free. Round-robin scheduling can also be applied to other scheduling problems, such as data packet scheduling in computer networks. The name of the algorithm comes from the round-robin principle known from other fields, where each person takes an equal share of something in turn. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A route nationale, or simply nationale, is a trunk road in France. Trunk roads are in France are important roads which cross broad portions of the French territory, as opposed to secondary or communal roads who only serve local areas. Their use is free, except when crossing certain structures subjected to toll. They are open to all vehicles, except on certain sections having the status of motorway (autoroute). France currently has 30,500 km of nationales and publicly-owned motorways. By comparison, routes departementales cover a total distance of 365,000 km.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Route assignment, route choice, or traffic assignment concerns the selection of routes between origins and destinations in transportation networks. It is the fourth step in the conventional transportation forecasting model, following trip generation, trip distribution, and mode choice. The zonal interchange analysis of trip distribution provides origin-destination trip tables. Mode choice analysis tells which travelers will use which mode. To determine facility needs and costs and benefits, we need to know the number of travelers on each route and link of the network. We need to undertake traffic assignment. Suppose there is a network of highways and transit systems and a proposed addition. We...

Sensor networks are increasingly being deployed for monitoring of physical environments subjected to different applications such as medical, military, agriculture,industry, transport etc. One of the most important applications of a wireless sensor network is critical conditions monitoring such as fire, leaking of toxic gases and explosions. In such cases, it is important that information can be sensed from the physical environment, where the sensor network is deployed, while the emergency state is in progress. A great challenge to these networks is to provide a fast, reliable, and fault tolerant channel for events diffusion even in the presence of emergency conditions that can lead to node failures and path disruption, like dust, fire...
