  2. Water timer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_timer

    The solenoid/diaphragm timer uses more battery power throughout the "on" cycle because the solenoid must be actuated the entire time that the water flow is "on". The ball valve timer using the motor and gear actuator only uses more battery power during the few seconds that motor is used to turn the water flow on or off.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocchio_algorithm

    The Rocchio algorithm is based on a method of relevance feedback found in information retrieval systems which stemmed from the SMART Information Retrieval System developed between 1960 and 1964. Like many other retrieval systems, the Rocchio algorithm was developed using the vector space model .

  5. Hose clamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_clamp

    A hose clamp used to hold the leather in place while tying-in the bag of bagpipes. They can also be used in a similar way, as a simple means for the transmission of small amounts of power. A short length of hose is clipped between two shafts where vibration or variations in alignment may be taken up by the flexibility of the hose. This ...

  6. Hose barb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_barb

    Hose barbs are cylindrical pieces or parts for attaching and securing of hoses (tubing). The barb-like rings on the cylindrical piece allow for an easy push-connection of flexible-plastic or rubber tubing that is not so easily disconnected. Hose barbs are used in machine perfusion and chemistry laboratory equipment.

  7. Statistical process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_process_control

    Simple example of a process control chart, tracking the etch (removal) rate of Silicon in an ICP Plasma Etcher at a microelectronics waferfab. [1] Time-series data shows the mean value and ±5% bars. A more sophisticated SPC chart may include "control limit" & "spec limit" % lines to indicate whether/what action should be taken.
