Buoyant Effect of Air. Weighing operations performed m vacuo are not affected by buoyancy forces. An object in air, however, is subject to a buoyancy force that is equal and opposite to the gravitational force on the mass of air the object displaces (10). If the equal arm balance of Figure 1 is in balance with a test weight of mass, in one pan, and material of mass, m, in the other, m = m if they have the same density. If the densities are different, then the buoyancy forces acting on each pan affect the result. Taking moments about the center pivot point gives... 

Tilting-Disk Check Valves These valves (Fig. 10-160) may be installed in a horizontal line or in hnes in which the flow is vertically upward. The pivot point is located so that the distribution of pressure in the fluid handled speeds the closing but arrests slamming. Compared with swing checkvalves of the same size, pressure drop is less at low velocities but greater at high velocities. 

The shoe thickness at the pivot point or across ball and socket all shoes should be within 0.0005% of the same thickness... 

Due to FDA policies, this was a pivotal point for the pharmaceutical industry and established the onslaught of mergers for the development of enantiopure drugs. 

In 1906 Pierre was awarded a full professorship and position as chair of physics at the Sorbonne and Marie was promised a position as director of the laboratory which the university planned to create for Pierre. However, in April 1906 Pierre was killed when he stepped into the path of a horse-drawn cart. While this event personally devastated Marie, it was a pivotal point in her professional career. She was offered Pierre s chaired position at the level of assistant professor, making her the first woman in France to obtain a professorship and allowing her to both continue her research and financially support her family. 

Universal joints There are a variety of universal joints used to transmit torsional power. In most cases, this type of intermediate drive is used where some misalignment between the drive and driven unit is necessary. Because of the misalignment, the universal s pivot points generate a unique forcing function that influences both the dynamics and vibration profile generated by a machine-train. 

Figure 44.3 illustrates a typical double-pivot universal joint. This type of joint, which is similar to those used in automobiles, generates a unique frequency at four times (4x) the rotational speed of the shaft. Each of the pivot-point bearings generates a passing frequency each time the shaft completes a revolution. 

In universal-type jackshafts like the one illustrated in Figure 44.57, improper lubrication results in non-uniform power transmission. The absence of a uniform grease film causes the pivot points within the universal joints to bind and restrict smooth power transmission. 

The universal-coupling configuration used by jackshafts (Figure 44.57) generate an elevated vibration frequency at the fourth (4x) harmonic of its tme rotational speed. This failure mode is caused by the binding that occurs as the double pivot points move through a complete rotation. 

When a century is imputed by software, it is usually done based on something called a pivot point. The pivot point in SAS for determining the 100-year window is based on the YEARCUTOFF option, which is set by default to 1920. Let s look at an example to see what this means. The following SAS code uses both implicit and explicit century dates right at the YEARCUTOFF pivot point of 1920. 

As an aside, Microsoft Excel s pivot-point year is 1930 by default. So, if you enter an implicit century date in Excel such as 01/01/29, it understands that as 01/01/2029, but 01/01/30 is understood as 01/01/1930. This is useful to know when implicit century data pass through Excel into SAS in some fashion. 

Modem NMR software comes with very good automatic phase routines so most of the time you should end up with a beautifully phased spectrum. Sometimes, however, the software doesn t quite perform and you may need to tweak the phase manually. It can take a bit of familiarity to get this right but it is just a matter of practise. If you remember that the zero order adjustment works constantly across the spectrum and that the first order doesn t, it is quite easy to see what is going on. Normally the software gives you an option of setting the pivot point of the first order adjustment (i.e., the frequency in the spectrum where there is no effect from the first order adjustment). This pivot point is normally set to the largest peak. 

After some adjustment problems I was able to take a thyroid medication, in small amounts. That was a pivotal point, and I was able to expand the foods I could eat. By January 1990 I was up to six foods, including a grain, which I hadn t been able to eat in a year and a half. I worked up to being able to stand and walk for up to an hour a day. That period lasted about three months, until one day a nerve in my foot became so inflamed that when I stepped out of my car it felt like a tack was rammed into my foot. I ve never really recovered from that relapse, which happened ten years ago. 

If more of one of the liquids is added, the effect, according to the lever rule, is to shift the point of the pivot until balance is regained. Thus, at the given temperature the composition of the phases remains the same, i.e. each saturated with the other liquid, but the relative amount alters if more of liquid B is added, then in the lever diagram the pivot point will shift to the right and thus more of this phase will form at the expense of the other phase (which is mainly liquid A). This rule applies to all partially miscible liquids. 

Basically, f2 is defined as an SD [( )( —T)2) /N]V2 according to case 11(a) of Table 2. A special feature is the similarity transformation, which reverses the scale and makes it curvilinear to pass through three pivotal points ... 

For the three pivotal points, this transformation has the same effect as Eq. (12) but with exact values and simpler handling deviations between the pivots are remarkable but without interest for the intended goal. An interesting property of Eq. (14) is that it may be adapted to any other decision point /i by simply altering the value of the exponent c. While the two extreme pivots remain unchanged, the exponent of the break-even point fz = 0.5 is found as c = log(0.5) /log(/i) ... 

Construct your normal curves as before. This time the patient s systemic resistance has been lowered by a factor such as anaemia (reduced viscosity) or drug administration (vessel dilatation). Assuming that the MSFP remains the same, which may require fluid administration to counteract vessel dilatation, the CO and RAP for this ventricle will increase. Demonstrate that changes in resistance alter the slope of your line rather than the pivot point on the x axis. 

The first symposium on veterinary eompounding in September 1993 [15] offered a significant forum for discussion by experts and provided a pivotal point in the history of veterinary eompounding. The meeting was important because it assembled an impressive group of experts on veterinary eompormding, who explained and defined the roles of the veterinarian and the pharmaeist. 

Because of its hard brittle nature, the metal osmium has few uses. However, the powdered form can be sintered under high pressure and temperatures to form some useful products, despite its toxicity and malodor. Its main use is as an alloy to manufacture devices that resist wear and stand up to constant use. As an alloy, osmium loses both its foul odor and toxicity. Some of these products are ballpoint and fountain pen tips, needles for record players, and pivot points for compass needles. Osmium alloys are also used for contact points on special switches and other devices that require reduced frictional wear.
