Single purpose vehicle

An ABS is a bond issued by a single purpose vehicle (SPV) that is secured with a large number of assets (the Assets ) of one same type pooled in a portfolio. These Assets are usually the sole recourse the investors will have for repayment of the bonds. Examples of Assets are residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, credit card receivables, aircraft leases, and the like. 

Pipeless plants are an alternative to the traditional recipe-driven multipurpose batch plants with fixed piping between the units. In this production concept, the batches of material are moved around between stationary processing stations in mobile vessels. The processing steps are performed at different single purpose or multipurpose stationary units but the material remains in the same vessel throughout the production process. The transportation of the mobile vessels can be realized by a transportation system that is fixed to the vessels or by automated guided vehicles (AGV) that pick up the vessels only to perform a transfer order [1]. 

CAT bonds have probably been the most successful instrument used to package catastrophe risks into a securitization. This solution consists of creating a special purpose vehicle, which acts as a reinsurer to a single entity and which holds the bond principal invested in safe, low-risk, short-term securities. Cummins (2008) presents a comprehensive view of the history and types of securitizations and derivatives that have been used in the market. 

It was believed that the mine was designed for anti-invasion purposes to be placed in shallow water against landing craft, vehicles and tanks Type JG Antiboat Land Mine, which existed in 5 modifications, each being actuated by a single chemical horn screwed into the top. The mines were either bell-shaped or of a truncated cone. Each contd 22 lbs of Type 98 Explosive. The mines were fired when chemical horns were broken (pp 222-23, Fig 168)... 

Results from the intranasal trials with histamine and desmopressin have been previously reported ( 12) but will be summarized here for purposes of comparison to the CMC findings. Desmopressin alone, in these trials, significantly reduced the NBF response compared to vehicle administration (Table I). The administration of 20 meg histamine immediately prior to desmopressin restored the NBF response to levels significantly greater than desmopressin alone (Table I). CMC combined with desmopressin had no effect on the NBF response compared to desmopressin alone (Table I). We have previously demonstrated a linear dose-response relationship of intranasal histamine on NBF response over a dosing range of 20 to 500 meg (42). In that study, a single intranasal histamine dose of 20 meg increased NBF response by two fold compared to vehicle. 

The purpose of the original RUFIT study (2) was to look at the gasoline engined motor vehicle and European refineries as a single integrated system with the Research Octane Number (RON) as the link, taking into account a range of possible restrictions on the use of lead additives. 

The concept starts with a constant number of miles which need to be covered by the vehicle population and investigates how the quantity of crude oil consumed varies when vehicles are optimized to run on a single grade of gasoline but at different octane number levels. For the purpose of the study, this constant mileage is that which correctly matched vehicles would cover using 1,000 tons of gasoline with a specification equal to the current European pool described in 2 above, i.e. 6 RON with 0.4 g Pb/L. 

The purpose of this book is to present computationally efficient algorithms for the dynamic simulation of closed-chain robotic systems. In particular, the simulation of single closed chains and simple closed-chain mechanisms (such as multilegged vehicles or dexterous hands) is investi ted in detail. In conjunction with the simulation algorithms, efficient algorithms are also derived for the computation of the joint space and operational space inntia matrices of a manipulator. These two inertial quantities are important factors in a variety of robotics applications, including both simulation and control. 

In the UK in 2003, in contrast to the number of accidental fires, there were 355500 that Fire Services consider were deliberately set. A great proportion of deliberately set fires involve car fires where vehicles used for criminal purposes, robbery, or more usually joy riding are abandoned in remote areas and set on fire in an attempt to destroy forensic evidence. Arson is the largest single cause of major fires in the United Kingdom, currently costing an estimated 2.2 billion a year, which equates to 44 million every week. 

There are several fuel cell system dynamic models in the literature that are specifically developed for vehicle propulsion. The simplest dynamic model of a fuel cell stack is the representation of the stack with an equivalent circuit whose operating parameters are based on the polarization curve obtained from the manufacturer data sheet at nominal conditions of temperature and pressure. An equivalent single-cell model with semiempirical equation for the fuel cell polarization curve can also be used for this purpose.
