  2. Automatic vehicle location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_vehicle_location

    Automatic vehicle location (AVL or ~locating; telelocating in EU) is a means for automatically determining and transmitting the geographic location of a vehicle. This vehicle location data , from one or more vehicles, may then be collected by a vehicle tracking system to manage an overview of vehicle travel.

  3. Image geometry correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_geometry_correction

    The simplest application of image geometry correction is a specific case known as keystone distortion correction derived from Keystone effect.Keystone distortion gets its name from the symmetric trapezoidal distortion resulting from misaligned projector placement in the vertical dimension (although the term is generally applied to the non-symmetric quadrilateral shape that occurs from an off ...

  4. Track geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_geometry

    Therefore, the maximum warp parameter is used to prevent the critical harmonic rock-off condition that may result in the trains rocking back and forth and derailing following wheel climb. [ 9 ] In North America, the specific distance used for measurement to ensure that the difference in crosslevel of the track is within the permissible warp ...

  5. Anchor windlass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_windlass

    The wheels on either a vertical or horizontal windlass provide for either chain or line to be engaged. The wheel for line is termed a warping head, while the chain handling wheel is variously referred to as the gypsy (in the UK) or wildcat (in North America). For clarity in communication the generic term chainwheel is often used.

  6. Global motion compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_motion_compensation

    DivX offers 1 warp-point GMC encoding: This enables easier hardware support in DivX certified and non-certified devices. But as 1 warp-point GMC limits the global transform to panning operation only (since panning can be described using blocks), this implementation rarely improves video quality.

  7. Power loom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_loom

    Shedding is the raising of the warp yarns to form a loop through which the filling yarn, carried by the shuttle, can be inserted. The shed is the vertical space between the raised and unraised warp yarns. On the modern loom, simple and intricate shedding operations are performed automatically by the heddle or heald frame, also known as a harness.

  8. Hexaxial reference system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexaxial_reference_system

    The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane. The hexaxial reference system, better known as the Cabrera system, is a convention to present the extremity leads of the 12 lead electrocardiogram, [1] that provides an illustrative logical sequence that helps interpretation of the ECG, especially to determine the heart's ...

  9. Wartenberg wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartenberg_wheel

    A Wartenberg wheel, also called a Wartenberg pinwheel or Wartenberg neurowheel, is a medical device for neurological use. The wheel was designed to test nerve reactions (sensitivity) as it rolled systematically across the skin. [1] A Wartenberg wheel is generally made of stainless steel with a
