High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Voice broadcasting is a mass communication technique, begun in the 1990s, that broadcasts telephone messages to hundreds or thousands of call recipients at once. This technology has both commercial and community applications. Voice broadcast users can contact targets (whether they be members, subscribers, constituents, employees, or customers) almost immediately. When used by government authorities, it may be known as reverse 911 (since such notifications are intended only for use in emergencies). Voice broadcast systems manage a database of phone lists as well as digitally-recorded phone messages. Using telephony components, these computers can simultaneously broadcast thousands of phone...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Voice writing is a method used for court reporting. Using the voice-writing method, a court reporter speaks directly into a stenomask or voice silencer—a hand-held mask containing a microphone. As the reporter repeats the testimony into the recorder, the mask prevents the reporter from being heard during testimony. Voice writers record everything that is said by judges, witnesses, attorneys, and other parties to a proceeding, including gestures and emotional reactions, and prepare transcripts afterwards. Inside the steno mask is a microphone and voice-dampening materials. Modern masks have two microphones. To...

The void distribution of specimens of Ottawa sand was quantified via Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique. Two specimen reconstitution techniques, wet-tamping and air-pluviation, were used to generate the specimens. The specimen was prepared in a non-metallic triaxial cell. After fully saturated, the specimen with the cell was put inside a MRI device. Data was acquired at initial state and different stages of the conventional drained triaxial compression test. The acquired MRI data gives a direct measurement of the fluid phase in the voids, thus providing a complete picture of the local void distribution in saturated specimens. Programs written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) were used to implement the automated image processing...

Due to its versatility and low cost, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) has been a popular method for manufacturing near-net-shape, geometrically complex, composite parts. However, RTM composites usually suffer from the formation of flow induced defects such as voids and dry regions, which limits their usage to structural or semi-structural parts. Lowering or totally eliminating voids in RTM composites involves understanding void morphology in the molded parts. Detailed knowledge of the size, shape, and spatial distribution of these voids can be used to quantitatively model and predict molded composites properties and the performance via finite element analysis or other analytical methods. Detrimental effects of voids on the structural...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Void Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle similar to a Rubik's Cube, with the notable difference being that the center "cubes" are missing, which causes the puzzle to resemble a level 1 Menger sponge. The central "spider" used on the Rubik's Cube is also absent, creating holes straight through the cube on all three axes. Due to the restricted volume of the puzzle it employs an entirely different structural mechanism from a regular Rubik's Cube. The Void Cube was invented by Katsuhiko Okamoto.The Void Cube is slightly more difficult than a regular Rubik's Cube due to parity. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Voile is a light weight woven fabric, usually made of 100% cotton or cotton blends including linen or polyester. The term comes from French, and means veil. Because of its light weight, the fabric is mostly used in soft furnishing. Full length curtains in hot countries are made with voile and used as window treatments, mosquito nets etc. When used as curtain material they are similar to net curtains. Voiles are available in a range of patterns and colours, (unlike net curtains which are generally white or off-white). Because of their semi-transparent quality, voile curtains are made using specially manufactured heading tape that is less easily noticeable through the fabric. Voile fabric is also...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Turbo-Transmissions are hydrodynamic, multi-stage drive assemblies designed for rail vehicles using internal combustion engines. The first turbo-transmission was developed in 1932 by Voith in Heidenheim, Germany. Since then, improvements to turbo-transmissions have paralleled similar advances in diesel motors and today this combination plays a leading role worldwide, second only to the use of electrical drives. Turbo-transmissions serve as a hydrodynamic link which converts a motor's mechanical energy into the kinetic energy of a fluid, via a torque-converter and fluid coupling, before producing the final rotary output. Here, the fluid is driven through rotor blade canals at high flow-rates and...

The Voiture Etat a 2 etages, or approximately translated Etat double-deck passenger car, were a class of double-deck carriages built for the Chemin de Fer de l'Etat of France.The suburbs of Paris having experience a huge expansion at the beginning of the 20th century, the railway companies serving Ile-de-France were confronted with an increasing number of passengers on much longer distances. The Chemin de Fer de l'Ouest's old carriages no longer sufficed and the Chemin de Fer de l'Etat decided to design a new style of passenger car, capable of transporting passengers on two levels. The purpose was to avoid increasing the length of trains but increase capacity. Данное издание не...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Voiturette is a word mostly used to describe a miniature car; however, it has several meanings, depending largely on the usage date. The term was first used by Leon Bollee in 1895 to describe his new motor tricycle and in the early years of the motor industry was used by many makers to describe their small cars. The word comes from the French word for "automobile", voiture. Between World War I and II the term was also applied to light-weight racing cars with engines limited to 1500 cc such as the Alfa Romeo 158/159 Alfetta, the Bugatti Type 13 and the original ERAs. In France, in the years after World War Two it came to refer to a type of small three-wheeled vehicle. Данное...
