Unlike the earlier 2D LucasArts games, the player is informed of objects or persons of interest not by text floating on the screen when the player passes a cursor over them, but instead by the fact that Manny will turn his head towards that object or person as he walks by.

There have also been efforts to visually enhance the user interface, with the introduction of color themes, transparent floating widgets, a new and improved object tree overview, and other small improvements ( such as a color picker widget ).

A high-purity ( 99. 999 % = Nines ( engineering ) | 5N ) tantalum single crystal, made by the floating zone process ( cylindrical object in the center )

This can be problematic if the programmer wants to provide two constructors with the same argument types, e. g., to create a point object either from the cartesian coordinates or from the polar coordinates, both of which would be represented by two floating point numbers.

Note that, because the object is floating, the upward force of buoyancy is equal to the downward force of Gravitation | gravity.

with the clarifications that for a sunken object the volume of displaced fluid is the volume of the object, and for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.

For a floating object, only the submerged volume displaces water.

showing that the depth to which a floating object will sink, and the volume of fluid it will displace, is independent of the gravitational field regardless of geographic location.

For example, floating objects will generally have vertical stability, as if the object is pushed down slightly, this will create a greater buoyancy force, which, unbalanced by the weight force, will push the object back up.

If this occurs, the floating object is said to have a positive metacentric height.

As a floating object rises or falls, the forces external to it change and, as all objects are compressible to some extent or another, so does the object's volume.

The ship's name, identity, function, and conventional discreteness are merely imputed upon some aspect of our experience, namely, " That big object floating on water that we all agree to call ' Ship of Theseus.

The word " displacement " arises from the basic physical law, discovered by Archimedes, that the weight of a floating object equates exactly to that of the water which would otherwise occupy the " hole in the water " displaced by the ship.

In other words, for a floating object on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.

Thus, only in the special case of floating does the buoyant force acting on an object equal the objects weight.

This is often called the " principle of flotation ": A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight.

D-2 marked the first tele-robotic capture of a free floating object by flight controllers in Germany.

In aerodynamic levitation, the levitation is achieved by floating the object on a stream of gas, either produced by the object or acting on the object.

Yet a grassy approach can turn a pool into a floating lawn every time the grass is mowed.

It is worth mentioning that the Nepōhualtzintzin amounted to the rank from 10 to the 18 in floating point, which calculated stellar as well as infinitesimal amounts with absolute precision, meant that no round off was allowed, when translated into modern computer arithmetic.

The structure is also illustrated as a circle around the inside of the ring to show six electrons floating around in delocalized molecular orbitals the size of the ring itself.

152-153 .</ ref > The moon and sun are likewise considered to be flat and floating on streams of air, and when the sun sets it does not pass under the earth but is merely obscured by higher parts of the earth as it circles around and becomes more distant ; the motion of the sun and the other celestial bodies around the earth is likened by Anaximenes to the way that a cap may be turned around the head .< ref > Fairbanks, Arthur.

Now it is floating to everlasting beauty .</ poem >

It is also said in myth that floating rocks known as the Symplegades or Clashing Rocks once crushed any ship that attempted passage of the Bosphorus until the hero Jason obtained passage, whereupon the rocks became fixed, and Greek access to the Black Sea was opened.

Although BCD is not as widely used as in the past, decimal fixed-point and floating-point formats are still important and continue to be used in financial, commercial, and industrial computing, where subtle conversion and rounding errors that are inherent to floating point binary representations cannot be tolerated.

In essence, it is a river within an ocean, and, like a river, it can and does carry floating objects.

The number of bits ( or numeral places ) a CPU uses to represent numbers is often called " word size ", " bit width ", " data path width ", or " integer precision " when dealing with strictly integer numbers ( as opposed to floating point ).

Many later CPU designs use similar mixed bit width, especially when the processor is meant for general-purpose usage where a reasonable balance of integer and floating point capability is required.

Particle sedimentation ( and also floating, although this phenomenon is less common ) arises from a difference in the density of the dispersed and of the continuous phase.

# hardware context switching does not save all the registers ( only general purpose registers, not floating point registers — although the TS bit is automatically turned on in the CR0 control register, resulting in a fault when executing floating point instructions and giving the OS the opportunity to save and restore the floating point state as needed ).

Note that this is before the effects of round-off error are taken into account ; conditioning is a property of the matrix, not the algorithm or floating point accuracy of the computer used to solve the corresponding system.

The group locate the City, which is in fact a floating arsenal powered by advanced technology and inhabited by a people originally from Corum's world and his distant kin.

Herbert does, however, note Harkonnen floating slightly off the floor after he is killed.

It is operated by river tugs pushing several barges lashed together, and for the hundreds of passengers and traders these function like small floating towns.

After defeating the titanic Cyberdemon, he discovers the truth about the vanished moon: it is floating above Hell.

Diego Garcia is of sufficient width to minimise tidal fluctuations in the aquifer, and the rainfall ( in excess of 102. 5 inches / 260 cm per year on average ) is sufficient in amount and periodicity for the fresh water to form a series of convex, fresh-water, Ghyben-Herzberg lenses floating on the heavier salt water in the saturated sediments.

When a Ghyben-Herzberg lens is fully formed, its floating nature will push a freshwater head above mean sea level, and if the island is wide enough, the depth of the lens below mean sea level will be 40 times the height of the water table above sea level.

" Luthier Galeazzo Frudua has said the floating tremolos can have stable tuning through techniques specific to a floating bridge.

Other innovative designs included his floating Pastil Chair ( similar to a solid inner tube ), and Tomato Chair ( more stable with a seat between three spheres ).

Offshore sailors and others can utilize accessories such as leg straps to keep the inflated chambers in position for floating in a stable attitude and splash or face shields constructed of clear see-through vinyl which covers the head and face to ward off water from waves inundating the face ( nasal and mouth entries to the airway ).

A large golden dragon head is visible on the front, and continuously revolving paddles on the side of the ship keep these fleets at a stable floating position in the skies.

The notion of floating signifiers can be applied to concepts such as race and gender, as a way of asserting that the word is more concrete than the concept it describes, where the concept may not be stable, but the word is.
