  2. Bathtub curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve

    The bathtub curve is a particular shape of a failure rate graph. This graph is used in reliability engineering and deterioration modeling. The 'bathtub' refers to the shape of a line that curves up at both ends, similar in shape to a bathtub. The bathtub curve has 3 regions: The first region has a decreasing failure rate due to early failures.

  3. Leaky bucket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_bucket

    Hence, the water leaked is (N – 1) × T – τ, which because the leak is one unit per second, took exactly (N – 1) × T – τ seconds to leak. Thus the shortest time in which all N packets can arrive and conform is ( N – 1) × T – τ seconds, which is exactly τ less than the time it would have taken if the packets had been arriving ...

  4. Architectural pattern book - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_pattern_book

    A pattern book, or architectural pattern book, is a book of architectural designs, usually providing enough for non-architects to build structures that are copies or significant derivatives of major architect-designed works. A number of pattern books have been very influential in spreading architectural styles.

  5. Water damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_damage

    Water damage restoration is often prefaced by a loss assessment and evaluation of affected materials. The damaged area is inspected with water sensing equipment such as probes and other infrared tools in order to determine the source of the damage and possible extent of areas affected. Emergency mitigation services are the first order of business.

  6. Fire sprinkler system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_sprinkler_system

    "Water spray" systems are operationally identical to a deluge system, but the piping and discharge nozzle spray patterns are designed to protect a uniquely configured hazard, usually being three-dimensional components or equipment (i.e. as opposed to a deluge system, which is designed to cover the horizontal floor area of a room).

  7. Figure-ground diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-ground_diagram

    It relates the amount of "figure" to the amount of "ground" in a figure-ground diagram, and approaches urban design as a manipulation of that relationship, as well as being a manipulation of the geometric shapes within the diagram. A figure-ground illustrates a mass-to-void relationship, and analysis of it identifies a "fabric" of urban structures.
