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:
The shaft length varies up to one meter, is predominantly 8 to 12 cm. Only the top mouth opens alligator-like. (in US therefore has the medical term "Alligator Mouth" or "Hartmann Alligator Forceps" enforced. A common name also is "Crocodile forceps" [2]). The standard length of the muzzle from the front hinge implementation is 1.5 cm or 1 cm.
The lozenge indicates that the upcoming speed limit is inferior by at least 40 km/h than the previous one and is equipped with a crocodile and in-cab repeater to enforce the warning. The crocodile system can also be used to warn about a succession of reduced speed limits. Start of a Zone with a speed limit. End of a zone with a speed limit.
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 ]
Jennifer Lopez opened up in a new interview with British Vogue, discussing how she approaches “hardships” in the wake of her divorce from Ben Affleck.
An alligator shear, historically known as a lever shear [1] and sometimes as a crocodile shear, [2] is a metal-cutting shear with a hinged jaw, powered by a flywheel or hydraulic cylinder. Alligator shears are generally set up as stand-alone shears; however, there are types for excavators. The jaw size can range from 4 to 36 in (100 to 910 mm ...
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 ...
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).
