Fulcrum effect

To employ fulcrum effect one stabilizer is placed Just above the bit and additional weight is applied to the bit. The configuration acts as a fulcrum forcing the bit to the high side of the hole. The angle of hole deviation increases (buildup) as more weight is applied. [Pg.827]

To employ a restricted fulcrum effect one stabilizer is placed Just above the bit while second stabilizer is placed above the nonmagnetic drill collar. The hookup allows a gradual buildup of inclination with no abrupt changes. [Pg.827]

New Forms. Even at the time of introduction of slate it was recognized that the best geometric form for friable solid sulfur was a spherical particle enclosing maximum volume in minimum surface area and with least opportunity for fulcrum effects to increase rupture forces. A number of methods for forming liquid... [Pg.52]

The effectiveness of the lever as a machine depends on two factors the forces applied at each end and the distance of each force from the fulcrum. The farther a person stands from the fulcrum, the more his or her force on the lever is magnified. Suppose that the rock to be lifted is only one foot from the fulcrum and the person trying to lift the rock stands 2 yd (1.8 m) from the fulcrum. Then, the person s force is magnified by a factor of six. If he or she pushes down with a force of 30 lb (13.5 kg), the object that is lifted can be as heavy as 180 (6 x 30) lb (81 kg). [Pg.187]

In short, as Badiou himself indicates, a subject-of-an-event employs the useful, effective fiction of a world-to-come. More precisely, such a subject, when engaged in forcing, treats this world-to-come (i.e., the anticipated new situation as transformed on the basis of a given event and its truth [s]) as if it were already here in the present, as if the time of its future arrival is now. This as if serves as a lever or fulcrum for moving the not yet fully transformed world of today toward and into the uncharted terrain of a new tomorrow. Badiou claims ... [Pg.59]

When interaction takes place between the spherical quartz lens 1 and the chromium-coated plate 2, the balance arm 7 rotates relative to the fulcrum (prism 8), The deviation of the balance arm from the equilibrium position is proportional to the force of interaction it gives rise to a current, which in turn produces an electro-djmamic force opposing the molecular forces of attraction and compensating their effects. In the absence of the compensating arrangement (feedback) it is impossible to measure the interaction between the lens and the plate. [Pg.56]

The subject of health and safety is interdisciplinary and poses numerous challenges. Whilst many specializations may interact to provide solutions, the background and experience of the rubber technologist can provide the fulcrum of effective action. Many of the hazards in the rubber industry have their roots in the rubber and its unique characteristics such as its tack, friction, susceptibility to chemical change and its reluctance to wet and accept additives without high energy inputs. Those who work with rubber not only experience its problems but are in a unique position to contribute to the solutions required. [Pg.300]

How in reality do we move the fulcrum closer to demand The answer in effect is to improve the visibility of demand along with enhancing the velocity of the supply chain. In other words if we can have a clearer view of real demand in the final marketplace, rather than the distorted picture that more typically is the case, and if we can respond more rapidly, then a more effective matching of supply and demand can be achieved. [Pg.88]
