    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashing_(weatherproofing)

    Cap flashing (drip cap) Often used above windows and doors. Drip edge A metal used at the edges of a roof. Step flashing (soaker, base flashing) Pieces of flashing material which overlap each other in "steps". Counter flashing (cap flashing) Covers a base flashing. Pipe flashing (pipe boot, vent boot, pipe flange) A product used where pipes ...

  3. Rain gutter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_gutter

    [citation needed] A rain gutter may be a: Roof integral trough along the lower edge of the roof slope which is fashioned from the roof covering and flashing materials. Discrete trough of metal, or other material that is suspended beyond the roof edge and below the projected slope of the roof.

  4. Glucose tolerance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test

    The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...

  5. Magnetic particle inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_particle_inspection

    Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is a nondestructive testing process where a magnetic field is used for detecting surface, and shallow subsurface, discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. Examples of ferromagnetic materials include iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic field into the part.

  6. Imbrex and tegula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbrex_and_tegula

    The bottom of each tegula (a) overlaps the top of the tile below it. At the same time, the upper tegula's raised side borders taper inward to nestle between the side borders of the tegula below.

  7. Cut (earthworks) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_(earthworks)

    A sidehill cut can be formed by means of sidecasting, i.e., cutting on the high side balanced by moving the material to build up the low side to achieve a flat surface for the route. In contrast, through cuts, where the adjacent grade is higher on both sides of the route, require removal of material from the area since it cannot be dumped ...

  8. Built up edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built_up_edge

    The built up edge effectively changes tool geometry and rake steepness. It also reduces the contact area between the chip and the cutting tool, [1] leading to: A reduction in the power demand of the cutting operation. [1] Slight increase in tool life, since the cutting is partly being done by the built up edge rather than the tool itself. [4]

  9. Differential heat treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_heat_treatment

    Diagram of a cross section of a katana, showing the typical arrangement of the harder and softer zones. Differential hardening (also called differential quenching, selective quenching, selective hardening, or local hardening) is most commonly used in bladesmithing to increase the toughness of a blade while keeping very high hardness and strength at the edge.
