High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A depth gauge is a pressure gauge that displays the equivalent depth in water. It is a piece of diving equipment often used by SCUBA divers. Most modern diving depth gauges' have an electronic mechanism and digital display. Older types used a mechanical mechanism and analogue display. A diver uses a depth gauge with decompression tables and a watch to avoid decompression sickness. A common alternative to the depth gauge, watch and decompression tables is a dive computer. A depth gauge and an oxygen analyser/oxygen sensor can be used to measure the partial pressure of oxygen of the breathing gas, which is necessary to avoid oxygen toxicity. Digital depth gauges commonly also show the interval of...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Depth of focus is a lens optics concept that measures the tolerance of placement of the image plane (the film plane in a camera) in relation to the lens. In a camera, depth of focus indicates the tolerance of the film's displacement within the camera, and is therefore sometimes referred to as "lens-to-film tolerance."

The Derfflinger class was a class of three battlecruisers of the German Imperial Navy. The ships were ordered for the 1912 to 1913 Naval Building Program of the German Imperial Navy as a reply to the Royal Navy's three new Lion-class battlecruisers that had been launched a few years earlier. The preceding Moltke class and the incrementally improved Seydlitz represented the end of the evolution of Germany's first generation of battlecruisers. The Derfflinger class boasted considerable improvements, including a larger primary armament, all of which was mounted on the centerline, eliminating the restricted arc of the amidships turret. The ships were also larger than the preceding classes. However, the Derfflinger class used a similar...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The term derringer is a genericized misspelling of the last name of Henry Deringer, a famous maker of small pocket pistols in the 1800s. Many copies of the original Philadelphia Deringer pistol were made by other gun makers worldwide, and the name was often misspelled; this misspelling soon became a generic term for any pocket pistol. The original Deringer pistol was a single-shot muzzleloading pistol; with the advent of cartridge firearms, pistols began to be produced in the modern form still known as a derringer. A derringer is generally the smallest usable handgun of a given caliber. They were frequently used by women, because they are easily concealable in a purse or as a stocking gun....

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A derrick is a lifting device composed of one mast or pole which is hinged freely at the bottom. It is controlled by lines (usually four of them) powered by some means such as man-hauling or motors, so that the pole can move in all four directions. A line runs up it and over its top with a hook on the end, like with a crane. It is commonly used in docks and onboard ships. Some large derricks are mounted on dedicated vessels, and are often known as "floating derricks". The device was named for its resemblance to a type of gallows from which a hangman's noose hangs. The derrick type of gallows in turn got its name from Thomas Derrick, an English executioner from the Elizabethan era. Данное...

As part of an accelerator based cargo inspection system, studies were made to develop a cabinet safe system by optimization of the beam optics of microwave linear accelerators working on the S-band and standing wave pi/2 mode. Measurements, modeling and simulations of the main subsystems were done and a multiple solenoidal system was designed. This cabinet safe system based on a multiple solenoidal system minimizes the radiation field generated by the low efficiency of certain microwave accelerators by optimizing the RF waveguide system and by also trapping secondaries generated in the accelerator head. The electron gun was also studied and software for its right mechanical design and for its optimization was developed as well. The...

The industrial deployment of the fluidized bed reactors (FBR) have recently increased because of their excellent heat and mass transfer characteristics and product efficiency. In the state- of-the art design of these reactors, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a recently developed tool which can assist in their scale up. This book describes practical applications of multiphase CFD models with the kinetic theory of granular flows in bubbling, turbulent, and fluidized-bed reactors, including both experimental and computational approaches. It explains bubble behaviors, hydrodynamics, and reaction kinetics that are needed for scaling up such reactors using two multiphase CFD codes, the IIT code and the MFIX code developed at the NETL.

Design B-65 was a class of Super Type A cruisers[A 1] planned by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) before and during World War II. As envisioned by the IJN, the cruisers were to play a key role in the Night Battle Force portion of the "Decisive battle" strategy which Japan hoped, in the event of war, to employ against the United States Navy. Begun in 1939, plans were far enough along that tests were conducted with the main armament and against the underwater protection. Even though the ships were approved for construction under a 1942 fleet replenishment program, the prioritizing of aircraft carriers and smaller...

The intent of this thesis was to design, build, and test a cylinder head with variable swirl and ignition sites. The design aspect used Solid Works Floworks to model airflow within the head and cylinder. Swirl rate and volumetric flow rate were calculated from the results. The experimental head was tested on the University of Miami flow bench in the Internal Combustion Engines Laboratory. The results of the experimental work and theoretical modeling were compared. The results matched closely. The difference between experimental and theoretical values for high swirl flow rates were less than 3% error and the swirl ratio was less than 10%. For the low swirl scenario, error was less than 30%. The measured flow rate for the high swirl...

A complex and demanding task in control theory is the optimization of the behaviour of systems. But what does optimal mean? Roughly spoken it means that one tries to find the "best" solution of an existing problem, for example to maximize the acceleration of a car or to minimize the energy consumption of a plant. The search for a control that fulfills necessary constraints while maximizing (or minimizing) the desired objective defines - according to the fundamental problem of optimization theory in the field of dynamic systems. If there are uncertainties that act upon the system which has to be controlled, it is necessary to make decisions without knowing what the e.ects might be in detail.

Design 1047, also known as Project 1047, was a series of plans for a class of Dutch battlecruisers prior to the Second World War. The ships were intended to counter a perceived threat posed by Imperial Japanese aggression to the Dutch's colonies in the East Indies. Dutch intelligence believed that the Imperial Japanese Navy would deploy its capital ships (aircraft carriers and battleships) against their counterparts of the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy, leaving heavy and light cruisers as the largest ships available for an advance into the East Indies. As such, the 1047s were shaped by the need to be able to fight their way though an escort screen composed of cruisers and destroyers. It was hoped that they would be able...

World wide steel consumption as grinding media is estimated at over 600,000 tons per annum. Total steel media wear in a given mill (ball or SAG) grinding process is a product of three recognized wear mechanisms–impact, abrasion, and corrosion. This necessitates the need for developing impact, abrasion and corrosion wear testers that will allow the study of media wear over a wide range of energy levels. Refinement of the impact test will allow studying how impact media wear at high energies behaves as a function of those energies. This book is focused on design and development of a high- energy impact wear device. A comprehensive illustration on designing the newest version of the impact wear tester is explained in detail in order to...

Design A- 150, also known as the Super Yamato class,[A 1] was a Japanese plan for a class of battleships. Begun in 1938–39, the design was mostly complete by 1941. However, so that a demand for other types of warships could be met, all work on Design A-150 was halted and no keels were laid. Authors William H. Garzke and Robert O. Dulin have argued that Design A- 150 would have been the "most powerful battleships in history"[3] because of the massive size of their main battery of six 510 mm (20 in) guns as well as numerous smaller caliber weapons.
