  2. Basic fighter maneuvers - Wikipedia

    Increasing the pitch or slice can quickly provide a change in speed, which can just as quickly be reversed by returning to the original plane of travel. Out-of-plane maneuvers are not only used to provide a reduction in turn radius, but also causes the fighter to fly a longer path in relation to the direction of travel.

  3. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    The curved path of a golf ball known as slice or hook is largely due to the ball's spin axis being tilted away from the horizontal due to the combined effects of club face angle and swing path, causing the Magnus effect to act at an angle, moving the ball away from a straight line in its trajectory. [29]

    A draw/ hook travels further than a fade/ slice due to the fact that the closed face reduces loft and decreases backspin. A draw often is considered the "ideal" flight of the ball and implies that the spin is intentional, whereas a hook is an overly spun "draw" which is often a miss or out of control (unintentional).

    Note that if off-hook pertains to one state, on-hook pertains to the other. The active state (i.e., a closed loop (short circuit between the wires) of a subscriber line or PBX user loop) An operating state of a communications link in which data transmission is enabled either for (a) voice or data communications or (b) network signaling.

  6. Rope splicing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_splicing

    Rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together. [ 1 ]

    In the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard, the granularity of prediction types is brought down to the "slice level." A slice is a spatially distinct region of a frame that is encoded separately from any other region in the same frame. I-slices, P-slices, and B-slices take the place of I, P, and B frames.
