Stationary objects

Lack of lubrication. Slipping clamp unduly. Sandy or gritty working conditions. Rubbing against stationary object or abrasive surface. Faulty alignment. Undersized grooves and sheaves. [Pg.615]

Tertiary effects of explosions are those injuries or fatalities caused as people are knocked down or thrown by the blast into stationary objects. Reference 101 provides additional guidance on explosion effects on people. [Pg.106]

As I discuss in Time A Traveler s Guide, we now know that time travel need not be confined to science fiction or Hollywood movies. Time travel is possible. For example, an object traveling at high speeds ages more slowly than a stationary object. This means that if you were to travel into outer space and return, moving close to light-speed, you could travel thousands of years into the Earth s future. In addition to highspeed travel, researchers have proposed numerous ways in which time machines can be built that do not violate any known laws of physics. These methods allow you to travel to points in the world s past or future. [Pg.217]

Our calculations refer to how a stationary observer (the rester) judges how a traveling observer (the traveler) judges the stationary world. We have restricted ourselves to this situation exclusively because it is convenient to visualize ourselves, you the reader and I the author, as stationary. When we are stationary, we find it to be a simple task to measure the true shape of a stationary object. We use optical instruments, measuring rods, or any other conventional measuring principle. We believe that we make no fundamental mistakes and thus accept our measurements as representing the true shape. No doubt the traveler has a much more difficult task. Thus we do not trust the traveler s results but refer to them as apparent shapes. [Pg.272]

The mles for the apparent distortion of wavefronts or pulsefronts are much simpler than those of solid objects moving at relativistic velocities. In the following, we will repeat the three simple rules concerning the practical use of light-in-flight recordings for the study of the shape of wavefronts or stationary objects. [Pg.285]

It is to be noted that the size of the standard deviation is determined by fluctuations of the particle size, i.e., among other things by reactor fluctuations, and is not a characteristic of the measuring technique as it was already shown in laboratory tests at stationary objects free of doubts. [Pg.245]

Seen from the boat a stationary object on shore appears to move at velocity —v upstream, covering a distance vt during time //. Again the two measurements of z are proportional to each other, but now... [Pg.11]

Pyroelectric materials respond to changes in the intensity of incident radiation and not to a temporally uniform intensity. Thus humans or animals moving across the field of view of a detector will produce a response as a result of the movement of their warm bodies which emit infrared radiation (a 10 /rm). To obtain a response from stationary objects requires the radiation from them to be periodically interrupted. This is usually achieved by a sector disc rotating in front of the detector and acting as a radiation chopper. [Pg.423]

The effects of psilocybin last for a few hours. Its physical effects include pupillary dilatation, flushing, nausea, tremor, pyrexia, hyper-reflexia, tachycardia, weakness, and dizziness (5). The psychedelic effects include visual and other types of hallucinations, including enhanced perception of colours, synesthesia, time slowing, and a sensation of ego fragmentation. Psilocybin also causes illusions of motion in otherwise stationary objects (6). Psychotic reactions ( bad trips ) can occur, accompanied by fear, panic, and dangerous behavior, especially when psilocybin is used in combination with other drugs and alcohol or by psychiatrically unstable patients. During such an attack, self-mutilation can occur (7). [Pg.627]

Non-locality in terms of special relativity is best explained by the Minkowski space-time diagram, shown in figure 2. A stationary object follows a world-... [Pg.72]

Figure 7.3 Motion of a particle with velocity v relative to a stationary object Ps. Figure 7.3 Motion of a particle with velocity v relative to a stationary object Ps.
All stationary objects share a common inertial system and time appears to flow in the same direction, u. For moving objects the inertial system is rotated according to the direction of motion, such that time now appears to flow in the new direction u. Motion, in this context strictly refers to... [Pg.235]

ACC stop go covers the whole speed range of the vehicle, is also suited for urban traffic, and will combine ACC LSF with video sensors. This combination will eliminate the drawbacks of the current systems with respect to the evaluation of stationary objects [6]. [Pg.382]

Radar allows only the measurement of distances and a very limited spatial resolution with scanning systems, so in practice stationary objects, being of relevance in certain situations, are suppressed. [Pg.386]

Allision The act of a moving vessel striking against, or colliding with, a stationary object. [Pg.190]

Focal lesions often involve vision. Patients with temporal lobe lesions at times cannot perceive movement, although they can see stationary objects. Photons entering the eye are converted into electrochemical processes that create action potentials that progress to the occipital lobes, where visual information is integrated with information in the temporal and occipital lobes. The electrical and chemical activities in the brain determine one s thoughts, feelings, goals, plans, and actions, which we call consciousness. [Pg.89]

CGA G-1, 5.2.4 4.2.3.5 A positive method such as chaining should be used in securing acetylene cylinders that are standing upright. During movement, acetylene cylinders shall not be transported when lying horizontally with the valves unprotected in a position that would allow the valves to collide with stationary objects. [Pg.187]

A moving object will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed, and a stationary object will remain at rest, unless acted on by an external nnbalanced force. [Pg.71]

H7. An aircraft on the ground comes too close to moving objects or collides with stationary objects or leaves the paved area. [Pg.189]
