  2. Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Intelligent...

    FIPA was founded as a Swiss not-for-profit organization in 1996 with the ambitious goal of defining a full set of standards for both implementing systems within which agents could execute (agent platforms) and specifying how agents themselves should communicate and interoperate in a standard way.

  3. Martin Marietta X-24 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Marietta_X-24

    The X-24 (Model SV-5P) was built by Martin Marietta and flown from Edwards AFB, California. The X-24A was the fourth lifting body design to fly; it followed the NASA M2-F1 in 1964, the Northrop HL-10 in (1966), the Northrop M2-F2 in 1966 and preceded the Northrop M2-F3 (1970). The X-24A was a fat, short teardrop shape with vertical fins for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_HL-10

    The Northrop HL-10 is one of five US heavyweight lifting body designs flown at NASA's Flight Research Center (FRC—later Dryden Flight Research Center) in Edwards, California, from July 1966 to November 1975 to study and validate the concept of safely maneuvering and landing a low lift-over-drag vehicle designed for reentry from space.

  5. Rolls-Royce LiftSystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_LiftSystem

    Rolls-Royce LiftSystem. Instead of using separate lift engines, like the Yakovlev Yak-38, or rotating nozzles for engine bypass air, like the Harrier, the "LiftSystem" has a shaft-driven LiftFan, designed by Lockheed Martin and developed by Rolls-Royce, [3] and a thrust vectoring nozzle for the engine exhaust that provides lift and can also withstand afterburning temperatures in conventional ...

  6. Agent Communications Language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Communications_Language

    The content of the performative is not standardized, but varies from system to system. To make agents understand each other they have to not only speak the same language, but also have a common ontology. An ontology is a part of the agent's knowledge base that describes what kind of things an agent can deal with and how they are related to each ...

  7. Northrop M2-F2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_M2-F2

    The success of Dryden's M2-F1 program led to NASA's development and construction of two heavyweight lifting bodies based on studies at NASA's Ames and Langley research centers—the M2-F2 and the HL-10, both built by the Northrop Corporation. The "M" refers to "manned" and "F" refers to "flight" version.

  8. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    The mechanical advantage is 2, requiring a force of only 50 N to lift the load. A block and tackle is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load. Its mechanical advantage is the number of parts of the rope that act on the load. The mechanical advantage of a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_equipment

    Lifting equipment, also known as lifting gear, is a general term for any equipment that can be used to lift and lower loads. [1] Types of lifting equipment include heavy machinery such as the patient lift , overhead cranes , forklifts , jacks , building cradles, and passenger lifts, and can also include smaller accessories such as chains ...
