    A twin 12.2 litre 230 bar with an 11 litre 207 bar deep deco mix and a 5.5 litre 207 bar shallow deco gas will carry 10.7 kilograms (24 lb) of gas, and while it is unlikely that all will be used on the dive, it is possible, and the diver should be able to remain at the correct depth for decompression until all the gas is used up.

  3. Weight distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_distribution

    Weight distribution is the apportioning of weight within a vehicle, especially cars, airplanes, and trains. Typically, it is written in the form x / y, where x is the percentage of weight in the front, and y is the percentage in the back. In a vehicle which relies on gravity in some way, weight distribution directly affects a variety of vehicle ...

    The 1/4-turn shaft carries (also, each column) gears with 12, 16, and 20 teeth, for 3, 4, and 5. Digits [1] and [2] are handled by 12 and 24-tooth gears on the 1/12-revolution shaft. Practical design places the 12th-rev. shaft more distant, so the 1/4-turn shaft carries freely-rotating 24 and 12-tooth idler gears.

    Falling weight deflectometer. A falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is a testing device used by civil engineers to evaluate the physical properties of pavement in highways, local roads, airport pavements, harbor areas, railway tracks and elsewhere. The data acquired from FWDs is primarily used to estimate pavement structural capacity, to ...

  7. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

    Model railway scales and gauges are standardized in NEM 010, [1] which covers several gauges for each scale. Narrow gauges are indicated by an additional letter added after the base scale as follows: no letter = standard gauge (1,250–1,700 mm or 49.2–66.9 in) m = metre gauge (850–1,250 mm or 33.5–49.2 in) e = narrow gauge (650–850 mm ...

    They also showed why lifespan scales as the + 14 power and heart rate as the - 14 power. Blood flow (+ 3 ⁄ 4) and resistance (-3 ⁄ 4) scale in the same way, leading to blood pressure being constant across species. [37] Hu and Hayton in 2001 discussed whether the basal metabolic rate scale is a 2 ⁄ 3 or 3 ⁄ 4 power of body mass.
