  2. Chebyshev linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_linkage

    Chebyshev linkages did not receive widespread usage in steam engines, [citation needed] but are commonly used as the 'Horse head' design of level luffing crane.In this application the approximate straight movement is translated away from the line's midpoint, but it is still essentially the same mechanism.

  3. Bogacki–Shampine method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogacki–Shampine_method

    The Bogacki–Shampine method is implemented in the ode3 for fixed step solver and ode23 for a variable step solver function in MATLAB (Shampine & Reichelt 1997). Low-order methods are more suitable than higher-order methods like the Dormand–Prince method of order five, if only a crude approximation to the solution is required. Bogacki and ...

  4. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    This inverted slider-crank is the form of a slider-crank linkage that is often used to actuate a hinged joint in construction equipment like a crane or backhoe, as well as to open and close a swinging gate or door. [2] [3] [4] A slider-crank is a four-bar linkage that has a crank that rotates coupled to a slider that the moves along a straight ...

  5. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

    In engineering, a factor of safety (FoS) or safety factor (SF) expresses how much stronger a system is than it needs to be for an intended load.Safety factors are often calculated using detailed analysis because comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry a load must be determined to a reasonable accuracy.

  6. Channel capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_capacity

    Hence, alternative approaches such as, investigation on the input support, [6] relaxations [7] and capacity bounds, [8] have been proposed in the literature. The capacity of a discrete memoryless channel can be computed using the Blahut-Arimoto algorithm. Deep learning can be used to estimate the channel capacity

  7. Industrial control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_control_system

    An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control.Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections.

  8. Kendall's notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendall's_notation

    It has since been extended to A/S/c/K/N/D where K is the capacity of the queue, N is the size of the population of jobs to be served, and D is the queueing discipline. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] When the final three parameters are not specified (e.g. M/M/1 queue ), it is assumed K = ∞, N = ∞ and D = FIFO .

  9. Taisun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taisun

    The Guinness World Records state that Taisun holds the world record for "heaviest weight lifted by crane", set on April 18, 2008 at 20,133 metric tonnes (44,385,667.25 lb) by lifting a barge, ballasted with water. [3] However, it was surpassed by the Honghai Crane when the new crane was completed in 2014, with a lift capacity at 22,000 tonnes. [5]
