    List of unsolved problems may refer to several notable conjectures or open problems in various academic fields: Natural sciences, engineering and medicine

  3. Door problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_problem

    A door is an example of a complex feature that is seemingly trivial to implement correctly. In the original description of the analogy, Liz England justifies and explains the job requirements of a designer and how complex the job actually is compared to how the requirements are initially posed (making a door).

  4. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    When the crank-pin drives the piston, as when coasting, the piston thrust is downwards. The position of maximum thrust is shown by the increased wear at the middle of the slide bars. [33] The tendency of the variable force on the upper slide is to lift the machine off its lead springs at half-stroke, and ease it down at the ends of stroke.

  5. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    This inverted slider-crank is the form of a slider-crank linkage that is often used to actuate a hinged joint in construction equipment like a crane or backhoe, as well as to open and close a swinging gate or door. [2] [3] [4] A slider-crank is a four-bar linkage that has a crank that rotates coupled to a slider that the moves along a straight ...

D5: Verify Permanent Corrections (PCs) for Problem that will resolve the problem for the customer: Using pre-production programs, quantitatively confirm that the selected correction will resolve the problem ...

  7. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    A spring applies force to close the door, which the dashpot offsets by forcing fluid to flow through an orifice, often adjustable, between reservoirs, which slows the motion of the door. Consumer electronics often use dashpots where it is undesirable for a media access door or control panel to suddenly pop open when the door latch is released ...

  8. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

    A camless or free-valve piston engine is an engine that has poppet valves operated by means of electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic [1] actuators instead of conventional cams. Actuators can be used to both open and close valves, or to open valves closed by springs or other means.

  9. Piston effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_effect

    The piston effect is very pronounced in railway tunnels, because the cross sectional area of trains is large and in many cases almost completely fills the tunnel cross section. The wind felt by the passengers on underground railway platforms (that do not have platform screen doors installed) when a train is approaching is air flow from the ...
