An interactive electronic technical manual (IETM) is a portal to manage technical documentation. IETMs compress volumes of text into just CD-ROMs or online pages which may include sound and video , and allow readers to locate needed information far more rapidly than in paper manuals.
The first evidence of the nickname crocodile locomotive refers to the green Märklin model railway locomotives in gauge 0, item CCS 66/12920, as well as in gauge 1, item CCS 66/12921, which snake through the curves like a reptile when running through switch roads and counter curves, and are first referred to as such in the Märklin catalogue of ...
A crocodile is a component of train protection systems used in France and Belgium. It works similarly to the Automatic Warning System (AWS) used in the United Kingdom . The crocodile can provide two different pieces of information to the driver, according to the aspect of the corresponding signal:
Yenka uses a unified interface [1] to model reactions in scientific and technological subject areas, often in 3D. The software is intended to display results in real time or simulated time at 0.1x or 10x speed, replicating actual results (for example, a completed circuit will illuminate a light-emitting diode (LED), but applying too much electric current will destroy it).
The Atanasoff–Berry computer, a prototype of which was first demonstrated in 1939, is now credited as the first vacuum-tube computer. [1] However, it was not a general-purpose computer, being able to only solve a system of linear equations, and was also not very reliable. The Colossus computer at Bletchley Park
Crocodile cracking (also called alligator cracking and perhaps misleadingly fatigue cracking) is a common type of distress in asphalt pavement. The following is more closely related to fatigue cracking which is characterized by interconnecting or interlaced cracking in the asphalt layer resembling the hide of a crocodile . [ 1 ]
A crocodile clip or alligator clip [1] is a plier-like spring-tensioned metal clip with elongated, serrated jaws that is used for creating a temporary electrical connection. This simple mechanical device gets its name from the resemblance of its serrated jaws to the toothed jaws of a crocodile or alligator .
