  2. Nuss procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuss_procedure

    The Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive procedure, invented in 1987 by Dr. Donald Nuss and his colleagues, Dr. Daniel Croitoru and Dr. Robert Kelly, for treating pectus excavatum. [1] [2] [3] He developed it at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters, in Norfolk, Virginia. The operation typically takes approximately two hours. [4]: 1277

  3. Gun stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_stabilizer

    Post-war, British and then Soviet tank designers developed improved gun stabilizers. In 1948, the British Centurion Mk. 3 featured the first two-plane stabilization system in a production tank, while 1954 saw the introduction of the STP-1 stabilizer complex for the T-54A , and similar systems would be implemented on virtually all Soviet tanks ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_stabilization

    Such non-traditional stabilizers include polymer-based products (e.g. cross-linking water-based styrene acrylic polymers that significantly improve the load-bearing capacity and tensile strength of treated soils), Copolymer Based Products, fiber reinforcement, calcium chloride, and Sodium Chloride.

  5. Vertical stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_stabilizer

    The vertical stabilizer is the fixed vertical surface of the empennage. A vertical stabilizer or tail fin [1] [2] is the static part of the vertical tail of an aircraft. [1] The term is commonly applied to the assembly of both this fixed surface and one or more movable rudders hinged to it. Their role is to provide control, stability and trim ...

  6. Active Stabilizer Suspension System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Stabilizer...

    The electric powered active stabilizer suspension was first used on the 2007 Lexus GS. The 2008 Lexus LS 600h was the second vehicle to feature the active stabilizer system. Active Power Stabilizer Suspension System (APSSS) , is an electric active suspension system with active anti-roll bars developed by Toyota Motor Corporation for its high ...

  7. Gyroscopic stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscopic_stabilizer

    A Gyroscopic stabilizer is a control system that reduces tilting movement of a ship or aircraft. It senses orientation using a small gyroscope, and counteracts rotation by adjusting control surfaces or by applying force to a large gyroscope. It can be: Some active ship stabilizers adjust "active fins" of the ship or apply force to a large ...

  8. Stabilizer (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizer_(aeronautics)

    An aircraft stabilizer is an aerodynamic surface, typically including one or more movable control surfaces, [1] [2] that provides longitudinal (pitch) and/or directional (yaw) stability and control. A stabilizer can feature a fixed or adjustable structure on which any movable control surfaces are hinged, or it can itself be a fully movable ...

  9. Polymer stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_stabilizer

    Light stabilizer are used to inhibit polymer photo-oxidation, which is the combined result of the action of light and oxygen. Like autoxidation this is a free radical process, hence the antioxidants described above are effective inhibiting agents, however additional classes of additives are also beneficial, such as UV absorbers, quenchers of ...
