Moving walkway inside the Changi Airport station of the Singapore MRT. A moving walkway, also known as an autowalk, [1] moving pavement, [2] moving sidewalk, [3] people-mover, travolator, [4] or travelator (British English), [5] is a slow-moving conveyor mechanism that transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane over a short to medium distance.

Escalator. For the album by Sam Gopal, see Escalator (album). An escalator is a moving staircase which carries people between floors of a building or structure. It consists of a motor -driven chain of individually linked steps on a track which cycle on a pair of tracks which keep the step tread horizontal.
Shopping cart conveyor. A Shopping Cart Conveyor also known as Vermaport, Cartveyor or shopping cart escalator is a device used in multi-level retail stores for moving shopping carts parallel and adjacent to an escalator. Shoppers can load their shopping carts onto the conveyor, step onto the escalator, ride the escalator with the cart beside ...
This convergence result is widely applied to prove the convergence of other series as well, whenever those series's terms can be bounded from above by a suitable geometric series; that proof strategy is the basis for the general ratio test for the convergence of infinite series.
In mathematics, series acceleration is one of a collection of sequence transformations for improving the rate of convergence of a series. Techniques for series acceleration are often applied in numerical analysis, where they are used to improve the speed of numerical integration. Series acceleration techniques may also be used, for example, to ...
The Hayes-Wheelwright Matrix, also known as the product-process matrix, is a tool to analyze the fit between a chosen product positioning and manufacturing process. The first dimension of the matrix, the product lifecycle, is a measure of the maturity of the product or market. It ranges from highly customized products with low volumes, to ...
Central–Mid-Levels escalator. The Central–Mid-Levels escalator and walkway system in Hong Kong is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. The system covers over 800 m (2,600 ft) in distance and traverses an elevation of over 135 m (443 ft) from bottom to top. It opened in 1993 to provide an improved link between Central ...
Eventual consistency, also called optimistic replication, [2] is widely deployed in distributed systems and has origins in early mobile computing projects. [3] A system that has achieved eventual consistency is often said to have converged, or achieved replica convergence. [4] Eventual consistency is a weak guarantee – most stronger models ...
