Minuteman load – A special load that allows the firefighters to pull a large section of the hose onto their shoulders and have it drop off (called "paying out") in an organized fashion as they advance towards the fire. [8] "S" load, more commonly known as the "triple-layer" load – The hose is folded three times before being loaded.
5 Layer co-extrusion of cosmetic "squeeze" tube Typical liquid packaging board Multi-layered packaging are multilayer or composite materials using innovative technologies aimed to give barrier properties, strength and storage stability to food items, new materials as well as hazardous materials.
Direct the foam stream onto the ground in front of the product involved. May need to move the hose line or use multiple lines to cover the material. If multiple lines are used, be aware of other firefighters in the area. Bankshot (bankdown) method - Firefighter uses an object to deflect the foam stream so it flows down the burning surface ...
The combination of modern triple-layer turnout gear with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), personal alert safety system (PASS) device, and modern communications equipment is intended to provide protection against smoke, heat, water, steam, flashovers, and even direct flame for a short time.

The Mark 32 has been the standard anti-submarine torpedo launching system aboard United States Navy surface vessels since its introduction [3] in 1960, [citation needed] and is in use aboard the warships of several other navies.
Multi-layer insulation (MLI) is thermal insulation composed of multiple layers of thin sheets and is often used on spacecraft and cryogenics. Also referred to as superinsulation, [ 1 ] MLI is one of the main items of the spacecraft thermal design , primarily intended to reduce heat loss by thermal radiation .
A marine loading arm is an alternative to direct hose hookups that is particularly useful for larger vessels and transfers at higher loading rates and pressures. [2] Controlled manually or hydraulically, a loading arm employs swivel joints and can, to some extent, follow the movement of a moored vessel.
Multi-material injection molding (MMM) is the process of molding two or more different materials into one plastic part at one time. [1] As is the case in traditional injection molding, multi material injection molding uses materials that are at or near their melting point so that the semi-liquidous material can fill voids and cavities within a pre-machined mold, thus taking on the desired ...
