    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltiVec

    AltiVec prior to Power ISA 2.06 with VSX lacks loading from memory using a type's natural alignment. For example, the code below requires special handling for Power6 and below when the effective address is not 16-byte aligned. The special handling adds 3 additional instructions to a load operation when VSX is not available.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testing,_adjusting,_balancing

    When beginning the balance of a system, you must locate the terminal with the least amount of flow in regards to the engineer's drawing. Once the "low" terminal has been located, you can then proceed to adjust all other diffusers/grilles (air) or circuit balancing valves (water) to proportionally match the original "low" terminal.

  5. Balance shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_shaft

    This engine was the first to locate one balance shaft higher than the other, to counteract the second order rolling couple (i.e. about the crankshaft axis) due to the torque exerted by the inertia caused by increases and decreases in engine speed. [6] [7] In a flat-four engine, the forces are cancelled out by the pistons moving in opposite ...

  7. Fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fading

    Strong destructive interference is frequently referred to as a deep fade and may result in temporary failure of communication due to a severe drop in the channel signal-to-noise ratio. A common example of deep fade is the experience of stopping at a traffic light and hearing an FM broadcast degenerate into static, while the signal is re ...

  8. Balance spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_spring

    In order to adjust the rate, the balance spring usually has a regulator. The regulator is a moveable lever mounted on the balance cock or bridge, pivoted coaxially with the balance. A narrow slot is formed on one end of the regulator by two downward projecting pins, called curb pins, or by a curb pin and a pin with a heavier section called a boot.
