TurboJET () is the brand name for the operations of the Hong Kong-headquartered Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management Limited ( 信德中旅船務管理有限公司 ), which was established from the joint venture between Shun Tak Holdings Limited ( 信德集團有限公司 ) and China Travel International Investment Hong Kong Limited ( 香港中旅國際投資有限公司 ) in July 1999.

TurboJET provides services between Hong Kong, Hong Kong International Airport, Macau, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, all located around the Pearl River Delta in southern China.

Its shipping division, operating under the name of TurboJET, operates ferry services between Hong Kong and Macau.

TurboJET also operates fast ferries to Kowloon ( Hong Kong ), Macau and the Hong Kong International Airport at the nearby Fuyong Pier.

TurboJET is the world's largest operator of Boeing's Jetfoils, and all used to belong to former Far East Jetfoil.

Shun Tak and China Travel had their own separate ferry business brands before merging as TurboJET, on 1 July 1999.

After the merger, the routes are now operated under the TurboJET brand.

It is this curious blend of rugged individualism and public service which accounts for the great appeal of the mythological detective.

It is the growing contradiction between individualism and public service in the mystery story which creates this fatal dilemma.

Both abolition of war and new techniques of production, particularly robot factories, greatly increase the world's wealth, a situation described in the following passage, which has the true utopian ring: `` Everything was so cheap that the necessities of life were free, provided as a public service by the community, as roads, water, street lighting and drainage had once been.

Reports that the venerable liner, which has been in service since 1936, was to be retired struck a nostalgic note in many of us.

When he had given the call a few moments thought, he went into the kitchen to ask Mrs. Yamata to prepare tea and sushi for the visitors, using the formal English china and the silver tea service which had been donated to the mission, then he went outside to inspect the grounds.

SBA loans, which may be made to small manufacturers, small business pools, wholesalers, retailers, service establishments and other small businesses ( when financing is not otherwise available to them on reasonable terms ), are to finance business construction, conversion, or expansion ; ;

As was said in Gonzales, `` it is the Appeal Board which renders the selective service determination considered ' final ' in the courts, not to be overturned unless there is no basis in fact.

The long-range objective of this Department is to provide and maintain a system of forest development roads and trails which will adequately service the National Forest System at the levels needed to meet expected needs and optimum production of products and services.

The extent of such interference -- which may be so slight as to be undetectable at any point where either of the stations renders a usable signal, or may be so great as to virtually destroy the service areas of both stations -- depends on many factors, among the principal ones being the distance between the stations, their respective radiated power, and, of particular significance here, the time of day.

Rather, such assignments are made, as they must be, on the basis of certain overall rules and standards, representing to some extent a statistical approach to the problem, taking into account for each situation some of the variables ( e.g., power and station separations ) and averaging out others in order to achieve the balance which must be struck between protection against destructive interference and the assignment of a number of stations large enough to afford optimum radio service to the Nation.

The 20-to-1 ratio for cochannel interference embodies one of the fundamental limiting principles which we must always take into account in AM assignments and allocations -- that signals from a particular station are potential sources of objectionable interference over an area much greater than that within which they provide useful service.

But during nighttime hours the skywave radiations are reflected from the ionosphere, thereby creating the possibility of one station's rendering service, via skywave, at a much greater distance than it can through its groundwave signal, and at the same time vastly complicating the interference problem because of the still greater distance over which these skywave signals may cause interference to the signals of stations on the same and closely adjacent frequencies.

The rules and policies to be applied in this process of course must be based on objectives which represent what is to be desired if radio service is to be of maximum use to the Nation.

But nighttime operation by stations of other classes of course entails skywave interference to groundwave service, interference which is substantial unless steps are taken to minimize it.

During nighttime hours, because of the intense skywave propagation then prevailing, no large number of stations can be permitted to operate on one of these channels, if the wide area service for which these frequencies are assigned is to be rendered satisfactorily by the dominant stations which must be relied upon to render it.

The impact of noncompliance under the Wagner-Peyser Act is clear: the withdrawal of some $11 million a year of administrative funds which finance our employment service program or, as a corollary, the taking over by the Federal Government of its operation.

One such disagreement, which will receive attention in this next chapter, concerns the question whether rates for different kinds of service, in order to avoid the attribute of discrimination, must be made directly proportional to marginal costs, or whether they should be based instead on differences in marginal costs.

and a mere cost apportionment which somehow spreads among the classes and units of service even those costs that are strictly unallocable from the standpoint of specific cost determination.

The general basis on which these common costs are assigned to differently measured units of service will be illustrated by the following highly simplified problem of an electric-utility cost analysis.

But in the second subtype, which I take to be the one more frequently applied, only the operating expenses and not the `` cost of capital '' or `` fair return '' are apportioned directly among the various classes of service.

Let us also assume the existence of only one class or type of service, all of which is supplied at the same voltage, phase, etc. to residential, commercial, and industrial customers.

While costs on this order are sometimes separately charged for in residential and commercial rates, in the form of a mere `` service charge '', they are more frequently wholly or partly covered by a minimum charge which entitles the consumer to a very small amount of gas or electricity with no further payment.

In 1932 Dorset received its own exchange, which made business easier for the Manchester office, but it was not until February 1953 that area service was extended to include Manchester and Dorset.

Additionally, the hardware for implementing the service adaptation for IP packets is expensive at very high speeds.

Inexpensive ADSL service offers speeds up to 5 Mbit / s, while more expensive versions are improving in speed all the time.

In mid-1880s there were developed torpedo gunboats, like the Spanish Destructor, but they were considered too slow to catch torpedo boats because of the popular belief that the speeds attained by torpedo boats in trial conditions equated to speeds obtainable in service.

While the network and router are capable of supporting multi-mb / s service, the offering is severely throttled back to 256kb down / 64kb up speeds and capped at 1GB of monthly data transfer ( except for a small number of customers grandfathered from a previous service ).

As of August 2012 the company offers no way for customers of this service to sign up for faster speeds and / or unlimited data volumes in exchange for a monthly fee.

The 16550 also incorporates a transmit FIFO, though this feature is less critical as delays in interrupt service would only result in sub-optimum transmission speeds and not actual data loss.

Frame Relay complements and provides a mid-range service between basic rate ISDN, which offers bandwidth at 128 kbit / s, and Asynchronous Transfer Mode ( ATM ), which operates in somewhat similar fashion to Frame Relay but at speeds from 155. 520 Mbit / s to 622. 080 Mbit / s.

The lack of efficient U. S. freight and passenger rail service will neither aid in handling the “ perfect storm ” of environmental and energy sustainability nor meet the global competitive need of transporting goods and services at heightened speeds and times.

This was designed to provide good mixing and airflow over a range of engine speeds, though the VV carburetor proved problematic in service.

As of mid 2011, scheduled TGV trains operate at the highest speeds in conventional train service in the world, regularly reaching on the " LGV Est ".

The Danish Navy had 6 Søløven class torpedo boats ( the export version of the British Brave class fast patrol boat ) in service from 1965 to 1990 ) which had 3 Bristol Proteus ( later RR Proteus ) Marine Gas Turbines rated at combined, plus two General Motors Diesel engines, rated at, for better fuel economy at slower speeds.

And they also produced 10 Willemoes Class Torpedo / Guided Missile boats ( in service from 1974 to 2000 ) which had 3 Rolls Royce Marine Proteus Gas Turbines also rated at, same as the Søløven class boats, and 2 General Motors Diesel Engines, rated at, also for improved fuel economy at slow speeds.

It offers internet service with speeds of up to 12 Mbit / s, home telephone service, and digital cable television service.

With track upgrades, service speeds have increased ; since 21 December 2008, a high-speed CRH2E sleeper train service even runs between Beijing and Shanghai.

Telewest's internet service called Blueyonder, formerly branded as Cable Internet, ran on the cable internet architecture and offered speeds of 2 Mbit / s, 4 Mbit / s and 10 Mbit / s downstream.

The 20 Mbit / s service reportedly supports 768 kbit / s upstream, though some users have reported seeing upstream speeds of 1 Mbit / s.

Although capable of higher speeds ( up to 4 Mbit / s ), NTL did not make speeds higher than 1 Mbit / s available due to degradation of the DTV service.

The limiting factor is stated to be the overhead catenary support system which was constructed prior to 1935 and lacks the constant-tension features of the new catenary east of New Haven, although in the late 1960s the Pennsylvania Railroad did run Metroliner test trains as fast as and briefly intended to run the Metroliner service at speeds reaching.
