  2. Carrier-sense multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple_access

    P-persistent This approach lies between the 1-persistent and non-persistent CSMA access modes. [1] When the transmitting node is ready to transmit data, it senses the transmission medium for idle or busy. If idle, then it transmits immediately. If busy, then it senses the transmission medium continuously until it becomes idle, then transmits ...

  3. Trap (plumbing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(plumbing)

    In plumbing, a trap is a U-shaped portion of pipe designed to trap liquid or gas to prevent unwanted flow; most notably sewer gases from entering buildings while allowing waste materials to pass through. In oil refineries, traps are used to prevent hydrocarbons and other dangerous gases and chemical fumes from escaping through drains.

    Now if the machine is in the state S 1 and receives an input of 0 (first column), the machine will transition to the state S 2. In the state diagram, the former is denoted by the arrow looping from S 1 to S 1 labeled with a 1, and the latter is denoted by the arrow from S 1 to S 2 labeled with a 0.

    Q = (6 ft) × (3.088) × (3 ft) × 1.5 = 96 ft 3 /s. Parshall flume submerged flow example problem: Using the Parshall flume flow equations and Tables 1-3, determine the flow type (free flow or submerged flow) and discharge for a 36-inch flume with an upstream depth, Ha of 1.5 ft and a downstream depth, H b of 1.4 ft.

  8. Buchan trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchan_trap

    A Buchan trap (alternative names: Bristol interceptor, [1] interceptor trap and disconnecting trap) is a device fitted in a domestic sewer pipe to prevent odours entering the pipe from the public sewer [2] and permeating the house, a common problem before individual plumbing fittings were separately trapped.
