  2. Track geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_geometry

    Although, all of those crosslevels are in permissible parameter, when operating a train along such track, the motion will be rocking left and right. 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]

  3. Warping (sailing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warping_(sailing)

    HMS Thetis aground Warping or kedging is a method of moving a sailing vessel, typically against the wind or current, after running aground, or out from a dead calm, by hauling on a line attached to a kedge anchor, a sea anchor, or a fixed object, such as a bollard or tree.

  4. 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.

  5. Roller coaster wheel assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster_wheel_assembly

    They often consist of at least 3 wheels per assembly, but can contain more. The typical arrangement of the wheels are: Running wheels (also known as road wheels or tractor wheels): positioned on the top of the rail, bearing the weight of the train. Side friction wheels: positioned on a horizontal plane, either inside or outside of the rails ...

  6. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

    The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively called stagecoach-wheel effect) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel can appear to rotate more slowly than the true rotation, it can appear stationary, or it can appear to rotate in the opposite direction from the true rotation ...

  7. Dynamic time warping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_time_warping

    Optimal nonlinear time warping functions are computed by minimizing a measure of distance of the set of functions to their warped average. Roughness penalty terms for the warping functions may be added, e.g., by constraining the size of their curvature. The resultant warping functions are smooth, which facilitates further processing.

  8. Asheville Regional Airport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asheville_Regional_Airport

    Asheville Regional Airport (IATA: AVL, ICAO: KAVL, FAA LID: AVL) is a Class C airport near Interstate 26 and the town of Fletcher, North Carolina, 9 miles (14 km) south of downtown Asheville. It is owned by the Greater Asheville Regional Airport Authority. [ 3 ]

  9. 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.
