An illustration of several key components in a typical four-stroke engine. For a four-stroke engine, key parts of the engine include the crankshaft (purple), connecting rod (orange), one or more camshafts (red and blue), and valves. For a two-stroke engine, there may simply be an exhaust outlet and fuel inlet instead of a valve system.
RaXPol. The Rapid X-band Polarimetric Radar, commonly abbreviated as RaXPol, [1] is a mobile research radar designed and operated by the University of Oklahoma, led by Howard Bluestein. RaXPol often collaborates with adjacent mobile radar projects, such as Doppler on Wheels and SMART-R. [2] Unlike its counterparts, RaXPol typically places ...
The Rapid Motor Vehicle Company was founded in 1902 in Pontiac, Michigan, by brothers Max (1874-1946) and Morris Grabowsky, whose earlier venture, Grabowsky Motor Company, had been founded in Detroit in 1900. [2] They went on to build one-ton trucks and were the beginning of GMC Truck division after they were acquired by General Motors in 1909.
Modified-release dosage. Modified-release dosage is a mechanism that (in contrast to immediate-release dosage) delivers a drug with a delay after its administration (delayed-release dosage) or for a prolonged period of time (extended-release [ER, XR, XL] dosage) or to a specific target in the body (targeted-release dosage).

A Rapid compression machine (RCM) is an experimental device used to simulate a single compression stroke of an internal combustion engine. A rapid compression machine can be used for chemical kinetics studies. It is often used as an alternative to a shock tube for understanding specifically low-to-intermediate temperature autoignition chemistry ...
Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) is a technique used in molecular biology to obtain the full length sequence of an RNA transcript found within a cell. RACE results in the production of a cDNA copy of the RNA sequence of interest, produced through reverse transcription , followed by PCR amplification of the cDNA copies (see RT-PCR ).
Gitzo was founded in France by Arsène Gitzhoven in 1917, [1] initially producing wooden and metal cassette filmbacks, and later expanding to include a line of cameras, shutters, and cable releases.
