Moving sidewalk - Moving sidewalk An inclined moving sidewalk at Beaudry metro station in Montreal A moving sidewalk, moving walkway or travelator is a slow speed conveyor belt to transport people; they can walk along it or stand; it is like a horizontal escalator. They are often applied in pairs, one for each direction. They are often used in airports where there is a long distance to walk between terminals, and in metro stations. The speed is usually 3 km/h, but there is a high-speed version with a speed of 9 km/h at Gare Montparnasse station in Paris. At least one person has been killed by such a system: Sally Baldwin, a professor of the University of York was crushed to death at Tiburtina Station in Rome on 28.
James MacArthur - in Studio One, G.E. Theatre, Bus Stop, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, The Eleventh Hour, The Great Adventure, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Wagon Train, Great Adventure, Combat, The Virginian, Twelve O'Clock High, Tarzan and a particularly chilling performance as baby-faced opium dealer 'Johnny Lubin' in The Untouchables episode, Death For Sale. Though not all his movie characters were 'starring roles,' and some of them were quite brief, for the most part they were pivotal to the plot. His role in The Bedford Incident was that of a young ensign who became so rattled by the needling of his Captain (Richard Widmark), that he accidentally fired an atomic weapon, thus (we are given to understand) starting World War III. In The Battle of the Bulge he again played the role of a young.
Building - and activities. The design construction and operation of buildings is as old as humankind. Architects today design most large-scale buildings in a team with a large number of specialized engineers. Small residential buildings do not usually involve extensive work by architects or engineers. Systems for transport of people within buildings: Elevator Escalator Moving sidewalk (horizontal and inclined) Systems for interconnecting buildings: Skyway Underground city See also: Architecture Autonomous building Building construction Civil engineering Construction robot. List of building types Famous buildings Building can also refer to the act of assembling a computer program from one or more source files. In which case, like a building, the foundation must be laid. The foundations necessary in building a program are the compiler, and other dependency all spelled out in list files, and makefiles..
Conveyor transport - developed from the idea of a conveyor belt. Examples include: Conveyor belt Escalator Moving sidewalk (moving walkway, travelator), including the inclined moving sidewalk (moving ramp) In Hong Kong, tens of thousands of commuters travel each work day between the Central District (a financial district) and the Mid Levels (a residential district hundreds of feet up Victoria Peak) using a long distance escalator/moving sidewalk combination. It goes only one way at a time; the direction reverses depending on rush hour traffic direction. See Transportation in Hong Kong. See also public transport..
Shopping cart - counter, and, after paying, often also to the car on the parking lot. Often customers are supplied the convenience of taking a cart in or near the shop and returning it on the car park, and personnel are charged with moving carts from the latter to the former. Sometimes the customer has to pay a small deposit by inserting a coin, which is returned if and when the customer returns the cart at a designated cart parking point. This is also done for profit with luggage carts at many airports, where companies like Smarte Carte charge two or more dollars (or equivalent) for rental, and return a small token reward of a quarter (25 cents) for returning carts to the other end of any dispenser machine. Shopping carts In the United.
Stairway - vehicles with a floor that is not everywhere at the same level. Stairs are not suitable for wheelchairs and other vehicles. A stairlift is a mechanical device for lifting people and wheelchairs up and down stairs. For sufficiently wide stairs, a rail is mounted to the treads of the stairs. A chair or lifting platform is attached to the rail. A person on the chair or platform is lifted as the chair or plaform moves along the rail. Specialized rails are required for circular stairs or for change in stair directions on a landing. Wheelchairs may require special attachments and wider stairs. Special stairways are an escalator and a ladder. Alternatives are an elevator and an inclined moving sidewalk. In larger and older houses, in addition to the main stairs there.
Roller skating - similar to ice skating, with the metal blades replaced by wheels. It is often done for recreation and as a sport, but, more often than ice skating, it can be done functionally for moving around (it is faster than walking). It is done on the same places as skateboarding: on the road or sidewalk (not always allowed), and on special tracks and areas, including skate parks and half-pipes.

Vector graphics - showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Motivation 2 Typical primitive objects 3 Vector operations 4 3D modelling 5 See also Motivation For example, consider a circle of radius r. The main pieces of information a program needs in order to draw this circle are the radius r the location of the center point of the circle stroke line style fill style (possibly empty) There are two major advantages to this style of drawing over raster graphics. First, this minimal amount of information translates to a much smaller file size (the size of representation doesn't depend on the dimensions of the object). Second, the parameters of objects are stored and can be later modified. This means that moving, scaling, rotating, filling etc. doesn't degrade the quality of a drawing. Moreover, it is usual to specify the.
VESA Local Bus - Local Bus relied heavily on the 80486's memory bus design. When the Pentium processor started to gain mass acceptance, circa 1995, there were major differences in its bus design, and the VESA bus was not easily adaptable. This also made moving the bus to non-Intel architectures nearly impossible. Limited number of slots available. Most PCs that used VESA Local Bus had only one or two slots available, as opposed to 5 or 6 ISA slots. This was because, as a direct branch of the 80486 memory bus, the VESA Local Bus didn't have the electrical ability to drive more than 1 or 2 cards at a time. Reliability problems. The same electrical problems that limited the VESA Local Bus to 2 slots also limited its reliability. Glitches between cards were common,.
Karl Menninger - who founded the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas. As of early 2003, the Menninger Foundation is in the process of moving the clinic from Topeka in order to form a closer bond with a medical teaching hospital..
Vertical take-off and landing - by following bombers. The "solution" was to use VTOL fighters that could be moved to open fields around the countryside, making them immune to widespread destruction. In reality the costs of VTOL performance were huge, and while it turned out to be fairly easy to move the plane, moving the support equipment and fuel was not so easy. By the mid-1960s interest in VTOL had faded, perhaps due much to the widespread introduction of ICBMs as the main nuclear delivery system. Currently there are believed to be two types of practical VTOL aircraft in operation: Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey "tilt-rotor" and the British Aerospace Hawker Harrier "Jump jet" An early VTOL prototype was the so-called "flying bedstead". The Harrier is often flown in STOVL mode which enables it to carry a.

Yalobusha - residents to the town. In 1867, Yalobusha County's first manufacturing industry, Yacona Mills was the largest manufacturer of twine anywhere in the world. The Reconstruction Legislature in Mississippi created a number of new counties. Grenada County was formed in 1870 and included nearly two tiers of townships which had formerly been the southern part of Yalobusha County. In March, 1873, Yalobusha County was divided into two judicial districts, and Water Valley was named the county seat of the second judicial district. Because the town overlapped the Yalobusha-Lafayette County line, the legislature gave Yalobusha a two-mile strip of land from the southern portion of Lafayette County. The town of Tillatoba was chartered in 1873. In 1880, Yalobusha County's population was 15,649. In 1889, Coffeeville's second courthouse burned. It had been built in.
Kane County Cougars - that was previously based in Decatur, Illinois (1952-74) and Wausau, Wisconsin (1975-90) relocated there. While they've always been known as the Cougars since moving to Kane County, they were affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles in 1991 and 1992 and with the Florida Marlins from 1993 to 2002 before joining the A's for the 2003 season. As a Marlins farm team some key contributors to the 2003 World Series championship team played in Kane County on their way to the big leagues. Series MVP Josh Beckett played for the Cougars in 2000, while Dontrelle Willis had the league's best winning percentage and earned run average in 2002. The Cougars play their home games at Philip B. Elfstrom Stadium, built in 1991. The franchise attendance record of 523,222 was set in 2001. The.
Vector field - point to point. Vector fields are often used in physics, for instance to indicate the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changes from point to point. In the rigorous mathematical treatment, vector fields are defined on manifolds: a vector field is a section of the manifold's tangent bundle. While the underlying manifold is often the 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional Euclidean space (in which case the tangent space is equal to the same Euclidean space), other manifolds are also useful: describing the wind distribution on the surface of the Earth for instance requires a vector field on the sphere, a 2-dimensional manifold; the spacetime of relativity is a 4-dimensional manifold; and phase spaces.
Kevin Spacey - to film, Spacey remains actively involved in the live theater community. In 1991, he won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Uncle Louie in Neil Simon's Broadway hit Lost in Yonkers.

Kenneth Wolstenholme - a newspaper in Manchester, before joining the RAF as a bomber pilot. After the war he became a freelance journalist, working for BBC radio before moving to television in 1948. While most sports commentators gain some recognition if their career is long enough, Wolstenholme is almost entirely remembered for his commentary of the 1966 Football World Cup Final, specifically the words he used as the match came to a conclusion during injury time, as a small pitch invasion took place just as Geoff Hurst scored to put England 4-2 ahead: "Some people are on the pitch ... they think it's all over ... IT IS NOW!" These have become arguably the most famous words in English football, and among the most famous phrases in modern English. Bill Oddie wrote a song.
Kerrison Predictor - worse was that these ranges were exactly where the Luftwaffe's dive bombers were attacking from, which were quickly proving to be a decisive weapon in the Blitzkrieg. The Predictor solved the problem by doing all of the calculations mechanically through a complex system of gears. Inputs included wind speed, gravity, ballistics of the gun and the rounds it fired, angle to the target in azimuth and altitude, and a user-input estimated speed. All of these inputs were fed in via dials, which turned gearing inside the Predictor to calculate the range (from the change in angle and estimated speed) and direction of motion, generate the correct lead needed based on that calculation, and the "output" the result by moving a small pointer mounted on the gun. The gunners simply kept the.
Keith Wright - was being disciplined), Wright found time to play football. He had never played the sport before, but he impressed Boys' Ranch officials so much that he was given a chance to play high school football while there. He immediately made an impact on the field, taking his team to the playoffs as a junior, and to the championship game as a senior. Wright graduated at 17 and went to Arizona Western college, where he stayed for 2 years before moving on to Sacramento Community College in 1999. There, he used his body to have a total of 14 sacks during one season. His next visit to Tucson, to tour the University of Arizona, brought him more trouble, as he and his group were accused of stealing some items from campus. Wright.
