The Short Seaford was a development of the Short Sunderland flying boat for a longer ranged maritime patrol bomber for RAF Coastal Command. Initially developed as the "Sunderland Mark IV" the S.45 proved to be so different that it was given a different name. The Sunderland Mark IV was an outgrowth of a 1942 Air Ministry specification, R.8/42 which called for a generally improved Sunderland with more powerful Bristol Hercules engines, better defensive armament and other enhancements, intended for service in the Pacific.

The Short 360 (also SD3-60) is a commuter aircraft built by Short Brothers. The Short 360 seats up to 36-39 passengers and was introduced into service in 1981. It is a larger version of the Short 330.The Short 360 is a 36-seat derivative of the 30–33 seat Short 330. In high density configuration, 39 passengers could be seated. The two Short airliners share a high degree of commonality and are very close in overall dimensions and size. The later 360 is easily identified by a larger, swept tail unit mounted on a revised rear fuselage. Данное издание не является оригинальным....

The Short Empire was a medium range four engined monoplane passenger and mail carrying flying boat, of the 1930s and 1940s, that flew between Britain and the British colonies in Africa, Asia and Australia as well as providing service between Bermuda and New York City. It was manufactured by Short Brothers and was developed in parallel with the Short Sunderland patrol bomber of World War II and the piggy-back Short Mayo Composite . The origins of the Empire boats lay in an Air Ministry requirement for passenger and mail carriers that could provide air mail service to the colonies in Africa and Australia.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Shot noise is a type of electronic noise that occurs when the finite number of particles that carry energy, such as electrons in an electronic circuit or photons in an optical device, is small enough to give rise to detectable statistical fluctuations in a measurement. It is important in electronics, telecommunications, and fundamental physics. It also refers to an analogous noise in particle simulations, where due to the small number of particles, the simulation exhibits detectable statistical fluctuations not observed in the real-world system.

A hard shoulder, or simply shoulder, is a reserved area by the verge of a road or motorway. Generally it is kept clear of all traffic. In the event of an emergency or breakdown, a motorist can pull into the hard shoulder to get out of the flow of traffic and obtain an element of safety. A hard shoulder also allows some extra flexibility should a motorist need to take evasive action, as it is a buffer area between the main thoroughfare and the edge of the road. Emergency vehicles such as ambulances and police cars may also use the shoulder to bypass traffic congestion. These uses lead to the alternative names...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Show control is the use of technology to link together and operate multiple entertainment control systems in a coordinated manner. It is distinguished from entertainment control (a term much less common than its specific forms, e.g. lighting control), which coordinates elements within a single entertainment discipline such as lighting, sound, video, rigging or pyrotechnics. An example of show control would be linking a video segment with a number of lighting cues, or having a sound track trigger animatronic movements -- or all of these combined. Shows with or without live actors almost invariably incorporate entertainment control technology and usually benefit from show control to operate these...

Imagine you live in an environment with free of contamination of lead, mercury, arsenic of cathode ray tubes, computer chips and cell phones. Image you can reduce your production cost dramatically by reusing metals, polymers recycled from end-of-life consumer products. Image you can integrate the recyclability into your product design and thus make cheap, safe and environment friendly products. This is the future that Dr. Yun Xing envisions in Shredding Simulation of End of Life Consumer Electronic Products, which unapologetically argues that end of life electronic products should be recycled and algorithm should be developed to integrate recyclability into product design. Working from the frame of matrix based algorithm, Yun Xing...

So-on was Sogaku's adopted son, and abbot of Sokagu's former temple Zoun-in. His parents initially thought he was too young to live far from home, but eventually allowed it. Zoun-in is located in a small village called Mori, Shizuoka in Japan. Suzuki arrived during a 100 day sitting period at the temple, and was the youngest student there. Zoun-in was a much larger temple than Shoganji. At 4 a.m each morning he would arise for zazen. Next he would chant sutras and begin cleaning the temple with the others. They would work throughout the day and then, in the evenings, they all would resume...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In cryptography, a side channel attack is any attack based on information gained from the physical implementation of a cryptosystem, rather than brute force or theoretical weaknesses in the algorithms (compare cryptanalysis). For example, timing information, power consumption, electromagnetic leaks or even sound can provide an extra source of information which can be exploited to break the system. Many side-channel attacks require considerable technical knowledge of the internal operation of the system on which the cryptography is implemented. Attempts to break a cryptosystem by deceiving or coercing people with legitimate access are not typically called side-channel attacks: see social...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! SIPS, acronym for Side Impact Protection System, is a system of protection against side impacts developed by Volvo. SIPS was released in the Volvo 900 Series in 1991. The SIPS system worked by having the driver and passenger seat mounted on transverse steel rails, not bolted to the floor as per the standard configuration. In a side impact these transverse rails allowed the seats to crush a reinforced center console during a side impact. The system is designed to more widely distribute the energy in a side impact across the whole side of the car rather than having the B-pillar absorb it all. The SIPS side seat airbags were released in 1994 850 models and became standard beginning in 1995....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Side collisions are vehicle crashes where the side of one or more vehicles is impacted. These crashes often occur at intersections, in parking lots, when two vehicles pass on a multi-lane roadway, or when a vehicle hits a fixed object. Broadside collisions, commonly known as T-bone collisions, are where the side of one vehicle is impacted by the front or rear of another vehicle or a fixed object. Vehicle damage and occupant injury are more likely to be severe, but severity varies based on the part of the vehicle that is struck, safety features present, the speeds of both vehicles, and vehicle weight and construction.

A sidewalk (also pavement, footway, and sometimes platform) is a path along the side of a road. A sidewalk may accommodate moderate changes in grade (height) and is normally separated from the vehicular section by a curb (British spelling: kerb), there may also be a strip of vegetation, grass or bushes or trees or a combination of these between the pedestrian section and the vehicular section (known as a parkway/tree lawn in the United States). In some places, the same term may also be used for a paved path, trail or footpath that is not next to a road, for example a path through a park. The professional civil...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A siege tower (or in the Middle Ages a belfry ) is a specialized siege engine, constructed to protect assailants and ladders while approaching the defensive walls of a fortification. The tower was often rectangular with four wheels with its height roughly equal to that of the wall or sometimes higher to allow archers to stand on top of the tower and shoot into the fortification. Because the towers were wooden and thus flammable, they had to have some non-flammable covering of iron or fresh animal skins. The siege tower was mainly made from wood but sometimes had metal parts. Used since the 9th century BC in the ancient Near East, 305 BC in Europe and also in antiquity in the Far East, siege...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A siege is a military blockade of a city or fortress with the intent of conquering by attrition or assault. The term derives from sedere, Latin for "to sit". Generally speaking, siege warfare is a form of constant, low intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static defensive position. Consequently, an opportunity for negotiation between combatants is not uncommon, as proximity and fluctuating advantage can encourage diplomacy. A siege occurs when an attacker encounters a city or fortress that cannot be easily taken by a coup de main and refuses to surrender. Sieges involve surrounding the target and blocking the reinforcement or escape of troops or provision of supplies...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A siege engine is a device that is designed to break or circumvent city walls and other fortifications in siege warfare. Some have been operated close to the fortifications, while others have been used to attack from a distance. From antiquity, siege engines were constructed largely of wood and tended to use mechanical advantage to fling stones and similar missiles. With the development of gunpowder and improved metallurgical techniques, siege engines became firearms. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Siegfried Samuel Marcus (18 September 1831 – 1 July 1898) was a German-born Austrian inventor and automobile pioneer. Marcus was born in Malchin in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. He moved to Vienna, the capital of the Austrian Empire, in 1852. From 1856 to 1898 he worked as a self-employed manufacturer of scientific instruments in this city. He developed an interest in electricity and as a lighting technician too. His chief improvements include telegraph systems and ignition devices. Ca. 1870 he put an internal combustion engine on a simple handcart. This appliance was designed for liquid combustibles and made him the first man propelling a vehicle by means of gasoline. Today, this car is well known...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Siegfried class was a group of six coastal defense ships built by the German Kaiserliche Marine in the late 19th century. The ships were intended to protect the German coastline from naval attacks. The class comprised the lead ship Siegfried, along with her sisters Beowulf, Frithjof, Heimdall, Hildebrand, and Hagen. All six ships were named after Norse mythological figures. The Siegfried class ships were obsolete by the outbreak of World War I, and saw only limited service in their intended role before they were withdrawn from active duty. The ships then served in a variety of secondary duties, including barracks ships, target ships, and in the case of Beowulf, an icebreaker in the Baltic...

It was a signalman's duty to check each train that passed his signal box, looking for the red tail lamp exhibited on the trailing vehicle, the sighting of which confirmed that the train was still complete, and thus the section was clear.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics constitutes today's largest particle accelerator. It requires several installations for its safe operation, such as the beam loss system that protects the superconducting magnets from being destroyed due to excessive losses. The system is based on ionization chambers that transform the particle loss into an electric current. This current is processed by an analog front end, converted into a digital number and transmitted from the accelerator tunnel to the surface, where the final evaluation takes place. This work starts with a description of the beam loss system. A current-to-frequency converter is developed that produces a loss equivalent digital number....
