  2. Manumatic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manumatic

    An automatic transmission with a manumatic function provides a greater level of control by allowing the driver to request an upshift or downshift at a specific time. This is usually achieved using "+" and "-" positions on the gear selector or with paddle-shifters mounted beside the steering wheel.

  3. Application binary interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_binary_interface

    An ABI defines how data structures or computational routines are accessed in machine code, which is a low-level, hardware-dependent format. In contrast, an application programming interface (API) defines this access in source code , which is a relatively high-level, hardware-independent, often human-readable format.

  4. Organ shoes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_shoes

    The soles should be thin enough to feel the pedal key surfaces reasonably easily, but sufficiently stiff for solid and secure playing contact with the pedal keys. [2] Organ shoes typically have a slightly higher heel than usual (about one inch) to ease playing some notes with the heel and others with the toe, and to allow non adjacent notes to ...

  5. Dunlop Cry Baby - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunlop_Cry_Baby

    In addition to the floor pedal models, Dunlop also offers Cry Baby module DCR2SR, where the circuitry and tone controls are housed in a single rack unit; a floor rocker pedal only acts as a controller for the module. Up to six controller pedals can be connected to a single module, if multiple pedals need to be spread out on a larger stage. [12]

  6. Car controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_controls

    Semi-automatic transmissions are mechanically the same as a conventional manual transmission, but do not have a manually-operated clutch mechanism; instead facilitating the driver, by using automation system to control the clutch. These systems still require the driver's input and involvement for manually changing gear ratios, though, and will ...

  7. Parking brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Parking_Brake

    In manual transmission vehicles, the parking brake is engaged to help keep the vehicle stationary while parked, especially if parked on an incline. [2] [3]While automatic transmission vehicles have a "Park" gear with a parking pawl that immobilizes the transmission, it is still recommended to use the parking brake, as the pawl in the gearbox could fail due to stress or another vehicle striking ...

  8. Heel-and-toe shifting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heel-and-toe_shifting

    It involves operating the throttle and brake pedals simultaneously with the right foot, while facilitating normal activation of the clutch with the left foot. It is used when braking and downshifting simultaneously (prior to entering a turn), and allows the driver to "blip" the throttle to raise the engine speed and smoothly engage the lower gear .

  9. Cycling shoe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling_shoe

    Modern cycling shoes are designed to work with clipless pedal systems. Such systems temporarily connect the shoe to the pedal in a manner similar to a ski binding system. The aim is maximal efficiency of power-transfer, using a cleat on the sole of each shoe and a matched fitting on the pedal.
