    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading

    Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of symbols, often specifically those of a written language, by means of sight or touch. [1] [2] [3] [4]For educators and researchers, reading is a multifaceted process involving such areas as word recognition, orthography (spelling), alphabetics, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and motivation.

  3. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    The development of a linear cam is similar to, but not identical to, that of a rotating cam. [17] Key duplicating machine. The original key (mounted in the left-hand holder) acts as a linear cam to control the cut depth for the duplicate. A common example of a linear cam is a key for a pin tumbler lock. The pins act as followers.

  4. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  5. Mechanical aptitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_aptitude

    Mechanical aptitude tests are often coupled together with spatial relations tests. Mechanical aptitude is a complex function and is the sum of several different capacities, one of which is the ability to perceive spatial relations.

  7. Mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics

    Mechanics (from Ancient Greek μηχανική (mēkhanikḗ) 'of machines') [1] [2] is the area of physics concerned with the relationships between force, matter, and motion among physical objects. [3] Forces applied to objects may result in displacements, which are changes of an object's position relative to its environment.

  9. Dwell mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwell_mechanism

    A double dwell cam mechanism has a motion function which follows a rise-dwell-fall-dwell motion function sequence that repeats. Unlike the single dwell, the rise function position ends with the follower's acceleration becoming zero, as it is stationary in the first dwell.
