  2. 1G - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1G

    1G refers to the first generation of mobile telecommunications standards, introduced in the 1980s. This generation was characterized by the use of analog audio transmissions, a major distinction from the subsequent 2G networks, which were fully digital .

  3. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

    The position of a swept wing along the fuselage has to be such that the lift from the wing root, well forward of the aircraft center of gravity (c.g.), must be balanced by the wing tip, well aft of the c.g. [68] If the tip stalls first the balance of the aircraft is upset causing dangerous nose pitch up. Swept wings have to incorporate features ...

  4. Caisson (lock gate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(lock_gate)

    The caisson may only need to be lifted a few inches to make it movable on its track, which significantly reduces the ballast pumping time compared to a ship caisson. When closing the gate, the track guides it automatically back into place, avoiding the slow manoeuvering with tugs or winches necessary to align a ship caisson.

  5. Eccentric reducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_reducer

    In a pipe rack, the flat side of an eccentric reducer is on the bottom, so that the position of the bottom of the pipe will be constant, and supported by the rack. [3] Eccentric reducers are used at the suction side of pumps to ensure air does not accumulate in the pipe.

  6. Organ console - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_console

    The pipe organ is played from an area called the console or keydesk, which holds the manuals (keyboards), pedals, and stop controls. In electric-action organs, the console is often movable. This allows for greater flexibility in placement of the console for various activities.

  7. Check valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

    A swing check valve (or tilting disc check valve) is a check valve in which the disc, the movable part to block the flow, swings on a hinge or trunnion, either onto the seat to block reverse flow or off the seat to allow forward flow. The seat opening cross-section may be perpendicular to the centerline between the two ports or at an angle.

  8. Flux-cored arc welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux-cored_arc_welding

    FCAW may be an "all-position" process with the right filler metals (the consumable electrode) No shielding gas needed with some wires making it suitable for outdoor welding and/or windy conditions; A high-deposition rate process (speed at which the filler metal is applied) in the 1G/1F/2F; Some "high-speed" (e.g., automotive) applications

  9. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    Gate valves are mostly used with larger pipe diameters (from 2" to the largest pipelines) since they are less complex to construct than other types of valves in large sizes. At high pressures, friction can become a problem. As the gate is pushed against its guiding rail by the pressure of the medium, it becomes harder to operate the valve.
