  2. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    The Department of Transportation reported in 2011 that the only causes for SUA were pedal misapplication and wrong mats. Most complaints came after the Toyota recall. The cars' event data recorders showed application of accelerator pedal and no application of brake pedal. [citation needed] NASA was unable to replicate engine control failure ...

  3. Autonomic dysreflexia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_dysreflexia

    Hypertension in AD may result in mild symptoms, such as sweating above the lesion level, goosebumps, blurred vision, or headache. [7] Severe symptoms may result in life-threatening complications including seizure, intracranial bleeds (stroke), myocardial infarction, and retinal detachment. [8] Both noxious and non-noxious stimuli can trigger AD.

  4. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that utilizes a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and bicycles. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc ...

  5. Dysautonomia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysautonomia

    Dysautonomia, autonomic failure, or autonomic dysfunction is a condition in which the autonomic nervous system (ANS) does not work properly. This condition may affect the functioning of the heart , bladder , intestines , sweat glands , pupils , and blood vessels.

  6. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_wear_indicator

    The embedded sensor in the brake pad 2 contacts the rotor and creates a connection to ground of the sensor. The metal plate 3 contacts the rotor and creates a noise. This wear clip should be positioned so that the rotor contacts the clip before it contacts the brake pad. The rotor should push against that clip, not drag it away from the brake pad.

  7. Acute tubular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_tubular_necrosis

    Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a medical condition involving the death of tubular epithelial cells that form the renal tubules of the kidneys.Because necrosis is often not present, the term acute tubular injury (ATI) is preferred by pathologists over the older name acute tubular necrosis (ATN). [1]

  8. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    The type of brake system in use only affects trucks and large mass vehicles, which cannot supply enough force to match the static frictional force. [1] [Note 2] The braking distance is one of two principal components of the total stopping distance. The other component is the reaction distance, which is the product of the speed and the ...

  9. Child bone fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Bone_Fracture

    Even though symptoms vary widely after experiencing a bone fracture, the most common fracture symptoms include: pain in the fractured area; swelling in the fractured area; obvious deformity in the fractured area; not being able to use or move the fractured area in a normal manner; bruising, warmth, or redness in the fractured area [4]
