Yard, standard

Another aspect important for the daily usage is the validation of the parts designed in the CAD system. While it is common practice to incorporate yard standards to a certain degree into the customization, it is neither usefid nor tech-rucally feasible to prevent aU kind of errors that way. Especially if designras work on multiple projects with different standards it is easier to catch the comer cases by a separate validation step than to switch CAD system customization every here and now.

In many cases, it is necessary to complement physical security by the installation of an intruder alarm system in order to achieve the standard of security commensurate to the risk exposure. The scope of protection to be afforded by the alarm system depends on the security risk, but it may embrace fences, windows, doors, roofs, walls, internal areas, yards and external open areas, and vehicles inside and outside buildings. There is a comprehensive range of detection devices, but the choice of detector is critical to ensure that it provides the desired level of protection and is stable in the particular environment. 

The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter, which is a little larger than a yard. The meter was originally intended to be 1/40,000,000 of the earth s meridian that passes through Paris. It is now defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. 

Yam count or number defines the relationship between yam weight and length. On one system it is the number of times a standard length of the yam is contained in 1 lb weight, e.g., a 23s cotton yam is one of such a thickness that 23 hanks each 840 yards long weigh 1 lb. See Denier and Tex. Yarn Number... 

The Sherlock Holmes stories often are read as the triumph of the scientific method of deduction. There is, though, another, darker interpretation to be advanced. That is the frustration of science and technology in changing everyday social practice. Throughout the canon, Holmes is consistently thwarted by the standard operating procedures of the Scotland Yard "regulars." He also is annoyed—and even disturbed—by the inability of Victorian... 

Since 1893, the U.S. basis of length measurement has been derived from metric standards. In 1959, a small refinement was made in the definition of the yard to resolve discrepancies both in this country and abroad which changed its length from 3600/3937 m to 0.9144 m exactly. This resulted in the new value being shorter by two parts in a million. At the same time, it was decided that any data in feet derived from and published as a result of geodetic surveys within the U.S. would remain with the old standard (1 ft = 1200/3937 m) until further decision. This foot is named the U.S. survey foot. As a result, all U.S. land measurements in U.S. customary units will relate to the meter by the old standard. All the conversion factors in this table for units referenced to this footnote are based on the U.S. survey foot rather than on the international foot. 

The unit of length, or distance, is the meter. Originally conceived of as one ten-millionth of the distance from the north pole to the equator through Paris, the meter is more accurately defined as the distance between two scratches on a platinum-iridium bar kept in Paris. The U.S. standard is the distance between two scratches on a similar bar kept at the National Instimte of Standards and Technology. The meter is about 10% greater than the yard—39.37 in. to be more precise. 

This device can be used to launch a hand grenade to a distance of 160 yards (1 meters) or more, using a standard 12 gauge shotgxm. 

The standards behind the English units are not reproducible. Arms, hands, and grains of barley will obviously vary in size the size of a 3-foot yard depends on whose feet are in question. But metric units are based on standards that are precisely reproducible, time after time.

Finally, a large 100-ton crane fitted with a clam shell bucket was leased, along with a small track-type front loader. Two used, standard 10 cubic yard concrete trucks were acquired to mix and transport the sludge. A backhoe and other miscellaneous equipment which have previously been used in other remediation activities supported the cleanup. Once all the site preparation activities were completed the site cleanup could begin. 

The English system is a collection of functionally unrelated units. In the English system of measurement the standard pound (lb) is the basic unit of weight. The fundamental unit of length is the standard yard (yd), and the basic unit of volume is the standard gallon (gal). The English system is used in the United States in business and industry. However, it is not used in scientific work, primarily because it is difficult to convert from one unit to another. Eor example. 

The Germans converted their own and enemy standard canteens into booby traps. The explosive charge was detonated by a pull fuze and a pull wire connected to the cap. When panially filled with water and placed in its canvas case it was very deceptive. The canteen booby-trap had an elective radius of 3 to 5 yards.
