  2. Variations in traffic light operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variations_in_traffic...

    Flashing yellow arrow. [edit] Variations on the protected/permissive traffic signals in the United States; (1) is the "classic" doghouse five-light signal introduced in 1971; (2) and (3) incorporate flashing yellow arrows. In the US, a flashing yellow arrow is a signal phasing configuration for permissive left turns.

  3. Traffic light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_light

    Traffic lights normally consist of three signals, transmitting meaningful information to road users through colours and symbols, including arrows and bicycles. The regular traffic light colours are red, yellow (also known as amber), and green arranged vertically or horizontally in that order.

  4. Pathogen transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogen_transmission

    An infectious disease agent can be transmitted in two ways: as horizontal disease agent transmission from one individual to another in the same generation (peers in the same age group) [3] by either direct contact (licking, touching, biting), or indirect contact through air – cough or sneeze (vectors or fomites that allow the transmission of the agent causing the disease without physical ...

  5. Vibration isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_isolation

    Practical systems with vertical and horizontal natural frequencies as low as 0.2 to 0.5 Hz are possible. Electro-mechanical auto-adjust mechanisms compensate for varying weight loads and provide automatic leveling in multiple-isolator systems, similar to the function of leveling valves in pneumatic systems.

  6. Vertically transmitted infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertically_transmitted...

    Pediatrics. A vertically transmitted infection is an infection caused by pathogenic bacteria or viruses that use mother-to-child transmission, that is, transmission directly from the mother to an embryo, fetus, or baby during pregnancy or childbirth. It can occur when the mother has a pre-existing disease or becomes infected during pregnancy.

  7. Traffic light control and coordination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_light_control_and...

    Traffic light control and coordination. A junction for road vehicles and pedestrians controlled by traffic lights in the UK. The various vehicle and pedestrian movements are separated in either time or space for safety and efficiency. The normal function of traffic lights requires more than sight control and coordination to ensure that traffic ...

  8. AN/UQQ-2 Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/UQQ-2_Surveillance...

    The source is a vertical line array (VLA) of up to 18 source projectors suspended below the vessel. LFA’s transmitted sonar beam is omnidirectional (i.e., a full 360 degrees) in the horizontal (nominal depth of the LFA array center is 120 m [400 ft]), with a narrow vertical beamwidth that can be steered above or below the horizontal.

  9. Traffic signal preemption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_signal_preemption

    Traffic signal preemption (also called traffic signal prioritisation) is a system that allows an operator to override the normal operation of traffic lights.The most common use of these systems manipulates traffic signals in the path of an emergency vehicle, halting conflicting traffic and allowing the emergency vehicle right-of-way, thereby reducing response times and enhancing traffic safety.
