Crankshaft drives a school bus for a living and is part of the company bowling team ( though he is not a great bowler ).

* Crankshaft: A shaft that converts reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion

Crankshaft connecting-rod journals were arranged so that each cylinder's exhaust piston ' led ' its inlet piston by 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation.

* The Chromium V8 JavaScript engine implements SSA in its Crankshaft compiler infrastructure as announced in December 2010

He authored two spinoff strips, John Darling, which ran from 1979 through 1990, and Crankshaft, which began syndication in 1987.

Crankshaft is an eponymous comic strip about an elderly, curmudgeonly school bus driver which debuted on June 8, 1987.

Two minor characters have been spun off into their own strips: the bus driver Crankshaft in 1987 and the talk show host John Darling in 1979.

The crankshaft, sometimes usually abreviated to crank, is the part of an engine that translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation.

The first part of the piston downstroke drew in a fuel-air mixture, then the inlet valve closed and, in the remainder of the down-stroke, the fuel-air mixture fired.

In close collaboration with Matthew Boulton, he had succeeded by 1778 in perfecting his steam engine, which incorporated a series of radical improvements, notably the closing off of the upper part of the cylinder thereby making the low pressure steam drive the top of the piston instead of the atmosphere, use of a steam jacket and the celebrated separate steam condenser chamber.

The second is that gas piston alternatives use an off-axis operation of the piston that can introduce carrier tilt, whereby the bolt carrier fails to enter the buffer tube at a straight angle resulting in part wearing.

As the connecting rod is angled for part of its rotation, there is also a side force that reacts along the side of the piston against the cylinder wall.

Since the piston is the main reciprocating part of an engine, its movement creates an imbalance.

Crocodilians also rely on the hepatic piston method, in which the liver is pulled back by a muscle anchored to the pubic bone ( part of the pelvis ), which in turn pulls the bottom of the lungs backward, expanding them.

In a crossflow engine, the transfer and exhaust ports are on opposite sides of the cylinder, and a deflector on the top of the piston directs the fresh intake charge into the upper part of the cylinder, pushing the residual exhaust gas down the other side of the deflector and out the exhaust port.

This system is still partially dependent on total loss lubrication ( for the upper part of the piston ), the other parts being sump lubricated with cleanliness and reliability benefits.

The problem comes about because in " forwards " running the major thrust face of the piston is on the back face of the cylinder which, in a two-stroke particularly, is the coolest and best lubricated part.

The forward face of the piston is less well-suited to be the major thrust face since it covers and uncovers the exhaust port in the cylinder, the hottest part of the engine, where piston lubrication is at its most marginal.

A piston engine has a part of the combustion chamber that is always out of reach of the piston ; and this zone is where the conventional spark plug is located.

When a valve on the pipe was opened, the vacuum in the condenser would, in turn, evacuate that part of the cylinder below the piston.

The piston in the brake cylinder has a flexible piston ring that allows air to pass from the upper part of the cylinder to the lower part if necessary.

* Schools which are part of Centrale Graduate School ; the students of which are referred to as pistons ( as in a piston engine )

The second is that gas piston alternatives use an off-axis operation of the piston that can introduce carrier tilt, whereby the bolt carrier fails to enter the buffer tube at a straight angle resulting in part wearing.

This constituted only a small part of the whole engine ; it was not programmable and had no storage.

Although, in these early years, engines came in a number of configurations, typically Q < sub > H </ sub > was supplied by a boiler, wherein water was boiled over a furnace ; Q < sub > C </ sub > was typically a stream of cold flowing water in the form of a condenser located on a separate part of the engine.

In some references the Storage engine is viewed as part of the Database engine.

It is not part of the DBMS but rather manipulated by the DBMS ( by its Storage engine ; see above ) to manage the database that resides in it.

The car had four headlamps, the rear part of the body was expanded to make room for luggage, the 4. 7 litre engine was detuned to, the shocks were softened, the shift lever was moved to the center and the car was available with the steering wheel on the left side of the car.

In other words, a heat engine absorbs heat energy from the high temperature heat source, converting part of it to useful work and delivering the rest to the cold temperature heat sink.

* Cylinder head, a part of an internal combustion engine

The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel ( normally a fossil fuel ) occurs with an oxidizer ( usually air ) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.

Until about 1800, the most common pattern of steam engine was the beam engine, built as an integral part of a stone or brick engine-house, but soon various patterns of self-contained portative engines ( readily removable, but not on wheels ) were developed, such as the table engine.

* X / Open XA distributed transaction processing ( DTP ) support ; two phase commit as part of this, using Oracle's InnoDB engine

This is due in part to the nearly infinite re-occurrence ( keyword stuffing ) of meta elements and / or to attempts by unscrupulous website placement consultants to manipulate ( spamdexing ) or otherwise circumvent search engine ranking algorithms.

The turbocharged engine allowed the 924's performance to come surprisingly close to that of the 911 SC ( 180 bhp ), thanks in part to a lighter curb weight, but it also brought reliability problems.

A flywheel is often used to ensure smooth rotation or to store energy to carry the engine through an un-powered part of the cycle.

Another factor in the demise of the rotary was the fundamentally inefficient use of fuel and lubricating oil caused in part by the need for the fuel / air mixture to be aspirated through the hollow crankshaft and crankcase, as in a two-stroke engine.

Satisfied at last, and after a few amorous gambits on her part which convinced Delphine that Dandy was capable of learning new arts, she opened the window and called to her liveried driver.

We have staved off a war and, since our behavior has involved all these elements, we can only keep adding to our ritual without daring to abandon any part of it, since we have not the slightest notion which parts are effective.

The major effect of these advances appears to lie in the part they have played in the industrial revolution and in the tools which scientific understanding has given us to build and manipulate a more protective environment.

The music which Lautner has composed for this episode is for the most part `` rather pretty and perfectly banal ''.

A broader concept of imitation is needed, one which acknowledges that true invention is important, that the artist's creativity in part transcends the non-artistic causal factors out of which it arises.

Was it supposed, perchance, that A & M ( vocational training, that is ) was quite sufficient for the immigrant class which flooded that part of the New England world in the post-Civil War period, the immigrants having been brought in from Southern Europe, to work in the mills, to make up for the labor shortage caused by migration to the West??

The point is that the reactionary, for whatever motive, perceives himself to have been part or a partner of something that extended beyond himself, something which, consequently, he was not able to accept or reject on the basis of subjective preference.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

Next I refer to our program in space exploration, which is often mistakenly supposed to be an integral part of defense research and development.

This, no doubt, is part of what Gilbert Seldes implies when he says of the arts, `` They give form and meaning to life which might otherwise seem shapeless and without sense ''.

Because Bright's speeches were so much a part of him, there are long and numerous quotations, which, far from making the biography diffuse, help to give us the feel of the man.

As the field on which my tent was pitched was a favorite natural playground for the kids of the neighborhood, I had made many friends among them, taking part in their after-school games and trying desperately to translate Grimm's Fairy Tales into an understandable French as we gathered around the fire in front of the tent.

She ended her letter with the assurance that she considered his friendship for her daughter and herself to be an honor, from which she could not part `` without still more pain ''.

And in these organizations certain primal notions played a radiant part, radiant both in the sense of giving light and of being a pole toward which all perspectives converge.

They become philosophic abstractions of a private and problematic relevance, or mere catchwords in religious customs which had in them a diminishing part of active belief.

It has not been any great mental effort on my part to keep up with this mechanization which has brought about new ways of dialing.

Either it is lack of training, lack of proper screening when hiring, lack of management or possibly lack of interest on the part of the telephone company, which does have a Government-blessed monopoly.

The lack of scientific unanimity on the effects of radiation is due in part to insufficient data covering large population groups, from which agreed-on generalizations could be drawn.

It reappears, in whole or part, whenever a new crisis exposes the reality: in Cuba last spring ( with which the Dominican events of last month should be paired ) ; ;

We welcome this able brief for the negative as part of a many-sided discussion of the Atlantic Common Market which JNR will be continuing in our pages.

The possibility of recall into the Army is part of the price that a modern American has to pay for the enviable heritage of liberty which he enjoys.
