  2. Constant bearing, decreasing range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_bearing...

    Diagram showing principle of constant bearing, decreasing range in marine collision avoidance. When an observer sees another vessel at a constant bearing and the range continually decreases, collision is imminent. A ship seen to be on a constant bearing with decreasing range will collide with the observer's ship unless avoiding action is taken.

  3. Sprag clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprag_clutch

    One-way bearing combining sprags and bearing rollers in one race Sprags jam when driven and slide when in reverse. A sprag clutch is a one-way freewheel clutch.It resembles a roller bearing but, instead of cylindrical rollers, non-revolving asymmetric figure-eight shaped sprags, or other elements allowing single direction rotation, are used.

  4. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    17th century - Galileo describes the functionality of a caged bearing [4] 1740 - John Harrison invented the first caged roller bearing for H3 marine timekeeping. [5] 1794 - The first patent for the ball race was given to Phillip Vaughn of Carmarthen, Wales. This is the first design seen with a spherical object moving through a groove.

  5. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

    They are economical, and easy to maintain and replace. Thomson Industries [1] (currently owned by Altra Industrial Motion [2]) is generally given credit for first producing [what is now known as] a linear ball bearing. Rolling-element bearings are generally designed to work well on hardened steel or stainless steel shafting (raceways).

  6. Ball screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_screw

    The ball screw was invented independently by H.M. Stevenson and D. Glenn who were issued in 1898 patents 601,451 and 610,044 respectively. Early precise screwshafts were produced by starting with a low-precision screwshaft, and then lapping the shaft with several spring-loaded nut laps [citation needed].

  7. Bentall procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentall_procedure

    Valve sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) is an alternative procedure to the composite aortic valve graft (CAGVR, Bentall procedure). A notable benefit of VSARR is the reduced need for anticoagulation, as the patient's own aortic valve is spared and does not need to be replaced with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve.

  9. Aortic valvuloplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valvuloplasty

    Guidelines and indications are specific to different patient populations. For adults with aortic stenosis, guidelines suggest that balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) is to be used as a temporary procedure to improve blood flow through the aortic valve to alleviate symptoms and stabilize clinically before having more invasive procedures done, including aortic valve replacement (AVR) or ...
