The aft pressure bulkhead is the white circular component; its web-like structure led a NASA technician to attach a large model spider to it for comedic effect. The aft pressure bulkhead or rear pressure bulkhead is the rear component of the pressure seal in all aircraft that cruise in a tropopause zone in the Earth's atmosphere. [ 1 ]
New York City fire alarm pull box indicator mounted on street light Street lighting systems require ongoing maintenance, which can be classified as either reactive or preventative.

[2] [3] A test in West Sussex UK showed that adding all-night lighting in some areas made people there feel safer, although crime rates increased 55% in those areas compared to control areas and to the county as a whole.
Three photoresistors with scale in mm Large CdS photocell from a street light. A photoresistor is less light-sensitive than a photodiode or a phototransistor. The latter two components are true semiconductor devices, while a photoresistor is a passive component that does not have a PN-junction. The photoresistivity of any photoresistor may vary ...
A bulkhead is a retaining wall, such as a bulkhead within a ship or a watershed retaining wall. It may also be used in mines to contain flooding. Coastal bulkheads are most often referred to as seawalls, bulkheading, or riprap revetments. These manmade structures are constructed along shorelines with the purpose of controlling beach erosion.
The two other works stem from Green Box’s year-round Artist in Residency Program. Inside the historic Lakeview Terrace building, internationally recognized Japanese artist Yasuaki Onishi will create a site-specific installation that challenges viewers' perception of space and form using stone-based copper foil molds created from nearby waterways.

A system whereby multiple human users of a computer can proceed as if they had sole use, while the computer processes each user's software in round-robin fashion. time-invariant system A systems whose characteristics don't vary significantly with time. topology The shape of an electrical network, independent of its size or values.
