floats: Encyclopedia II - Plate tectonics - Key principles

The division of the Earth's interior into lithospheric and asthenospheric components is based on their mechanical differences. The lithosphere is cooler and more rigid, whilst the asthenosphere is hotter and mechanically weaker. This division should not be confused with the chemical subdivision of the Earth into (from innermost to outermost) core, mantle, and crust. The key principle of plate tectonics is that the lithosphere exists as separate and distinct tectonic plates, which "float" on the fluid-like asthenosphere. The relative fluidity of the asthenosphere allows the tectonic ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Carburetor - Multiple carburetor barrels

While low performance carburetors may have only one barrel, most carburetors have more than one venturi, or "barrel", most commonly a two barrel, with 4 barrels being common in higher performance larger displacement engines, to accommodate the higher air flow rate with larger engine displacement. Multi-barrel carburetors can have non-identical primary and secondary barrel{s} of different sizes and calibrated to deliver different air/fuel mixtures; they can be actuated by the linkage or by engine vacuum in "progressive" fashion, so that the s ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Carburetor - Carburetor adjustment

Too much fuel in the fuel-air mixture is referred to as too "rich"; not enough fuel is too "lean". The "mixture" is normally controlled by adjustable screws on an automotive carburetor, or a pilot-operated lever on a propeller aircraft (since mixture is air density (altitude) dependent). The (stoichiometric) air to petrol ratio is 14.6:1, meaning that for each weight unit of petrol, 14.6 units of air will be burned. In theory this the m ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Carburetor - Operation

Carburetors are either: Fixed Choke (Venturi) - the varying air pressure in the venturi alters the fuel flow; this is the common downdraft carburetor found on American and most Japanese cars Constant depression - the jet is varied by the air flow to alter the fuel flow; the most common, variable choke (constant depression) type carburetor is the sidedraft SU, which was simple in principle to adjust and maintain. This rose to position of domination in the UK car market for that reason. Other, similar designs are used on some Europea ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Carburetor - History & development

The carburetor was invented by the Hungarian engineer Donát Bánki in 1893. Frederick William Lanchester of Birmingham, England experimented early on with the wick carburetor in cars. In 1896 Frederick and his brother built the first petrol driven car in England, a single cylinder 5 hp (4 kW) internal combustion engine with chain drive. Unhappy with the performance and power, they re-built the engine the next year into a two cylinder horizontally opposed version using his new wick carburetor design. This version completed a 1,000 mile (1600 km) tour in 1900 incorporating successfully the carburetor ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Carburetor - Catalytic Carburetors

There are persistent rumours which appear to extend into the realm of urban legend or even into conspiracy theory of extremely efficient carburetors. However, there may be some basis for these rumors or claims. One of the basic mechanism is apparently a catalytic carburetor. It would mix fuel fumes with water and air in the presence of heated catalysts such as nickel or platinum. The fuel would break down into methane, alcohols, and other lighter-weight fuels. The lighter-molecular-weight fuels would burn a ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - INMOS Transputer - Implementations

The first transputers were announced in 1983 and released in 1984. In keeping with their role as microcontroller-like devices, they included on-board RAM and a built-in RAM controller which allowed you to add more memory without any additional hardware. Unlike other designs, the transputers did not include I/O lines, this was to be added with hardware attached to the existing serial links. There was one 'Event' line, similar to a conventional processors interrupt line. Treated as a channel, a program could 'input' from the event channel, ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Seaplane - Types of seaplane

There are two types of seaplane: the float plane and the flying boat. A float plane has slender pontoons mounted under the fuselage. Two floats are common, but many float planes of World War II had a single float under the main fuselage and two small floats on the wings. Only the "floats" of a float plane normally come into contact with water. The fuselage remains above water. Some small land aircraft can be modified to become float planes. In a flying boat, the main source of buoyancy is the fuselage, which acts much like a ship's hull in the water. Most flying boats have small floats moun ...

Many conversions to home computers were produced by Elite Systems. Ghosts 'n Goblins - Commodore 64. The Commodore 64 version, released in 1987, featured compelling gameplay. Programmed by Chris Butler, it is also known for its excellent music by Mark Cooksey. Due to the limited resources on the Commodore 64, it was somewhat different to the arcade version. It only featured the Graveyard and Forest, The Ice Palace, The Floating Platforms and Firebridge and The Caves in that order. The player also started the game with five lives. ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - INMOS Transputer - Markets

While the transputer was simple, but powerful, compared to many contemporary designs, it never came close to meeting its goal to be used universally in both CPU and microcontroller roles. In the microcontroller realm the market was dominated by 8-bit machines and cost was the only serious consideration. Here even the T2s were too powerful and expensive for most users. In the desktop/workstation world the transputer was fairly fast, operating at about 10 MIPS at 20MHz. This was excellent performance for the early 1980s, but by the time ...

Once one has a theory of the I-V characteristic of an electrode, one can proceed to measure it and then fit the data with the theoretical curve to extract the plasma parameters. The straightforward was to do this is to sweep the voltage on a single electrode, but, for a number of reasons, configurations using multiple electrodes and/or exploring only a part of the characteristic are used in practice.< ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - INMOS Transputer - Design

The transputer (transistor computer) was the first general purpose microprocessor designed specifically to be used in parallel computing systems. The goal was to produce a family of chips ranging in power and cost that would then be wired together to form a complete computer. The name was selected to indicate the role the individual transputers would play: numbers of them would be used as basic buildi ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Pascal and C - Keywords

Both C and Pascal use keywords, or words reserved for use by the language itself. Examples are "if", "while", "const", "for" and "goto", which are also keywords that happen to be in common to both languages. Pascal is often said to be "wordy" compared to C. In Pascal, blocks begin and end with "begin" and "end". C uses "{" and "}", respectively. In Pascal, a function must begin with the keyword "function", a type with "type". In C, both ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - INMOS Transputer - Background

In the early 1980s, it appeared that conventional CPUs were reaching their performance limits. Up to this point in time, designers had been limited primarily by the amount of circuitry they could place on a chip due to manufacturing issues. But as the "fabbing" process continued to improve, soon the problem became that the chips could hold more circuitry than the designers knew how to use. Soon the traditional CISC designs were reaching a performance plat ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - INMOS Transputer - Software

Transputers were intended to be programmed using the occam programming language, based on the CSP process calculus. In fact it is fair to say that the transputer was built specifically to run occam, even more so than contemporary CISC designs were built to run languages like Pascal or C. Occam supported concurrency and channel-based inter-process or inter-processor communication as a fundamental part of the language. With the parallelism and communications built into the chip and the language interacting with it directly, writing code for th ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - INMOS Transputer - Comparison with modern technology

Ironically it was largely through additional internal parallelism that conventional CPU designs got faster. Instead of using a heavyweight explicit system like the transputer, modern CPU designs are parallel only at the instruction level, looking at the code being run and then distributing what it can be sure of across a number of internal arithmetic and storage units within the CPU core. Nevertheless it appears this form of parallelism, kno ...

INMOS attempted to improve on the performance of the T8 series transputers with the introduction of the T9000 (code-named H1 during development). The T9000 shared most features with the T800, but moved several pieces of the design into hardware, and added several features for superscalar support. Unlike the earlier models, the T9000 had a true 16 kB high speed cache instead of RAM, but also allowed it to be used as memory and included MMU-like functionality to handle all of this (known as the PMI). For additional speed the T9000 cached the top 32 locations on the stack ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Pascal and C - Syntax

C uses an abbreviated syntax compared to Pascal. C is also context-sensitive. For example, an identifier used as a "struct" can be reused for other purposes in the program. C was deliberately designed to take such shortcuts. The syntax is more compact as a result, but is more difficult to parse, and has an irregular grammar. Pascal was designed to have a simple and regular syntax with only one context sensitivity, which is the assignment ambiguity: a := b; where b c ...

C and Pascal are both arguably descendants of the ALGOL programming language series. ALGOL introduced so-called "structured programming", where programs were constructed of single entry-single exit "components" such as "if", "while", "for", "case", etc. Also, whereas before ALGOL only the expression syntax for languages was described systematically, ALGOL defined the entire language in terms of a syntax or ...

floats: Encyclopedia II - Computer numbering formats - Representing signed integers in binary

Binary numbers have no inherent way to representing negative numbers in a computer. In order to create these "signed integers" a few different systems have been developed. In each, a special bit is set aside as the "sign bit", which is usually the leftmost (most significant) bit. If the sign bit is 1 the number is negative; if 0, positive. Computer numbering formats - Sign and magnitude. The simplest way to depict a negative number, the sign ...
