The merits of the Salk anti-polio vaccine were not established on the forensic platform or in newspaper editorials, but in the laboratory and by tests in the field on thousands of children.

Seated on the platform were Amos C. Barstow, ex-mayor of Providence and a wealthy Republican stove manufacturer ; ;

An extended cold spell caused ice to build up on the aerator which was mounted on a floating platform and caused the entire platform to sink lower in the water.

The angle generated by the platform servo **yf multiplied by G is the effective acceleration acting on the accelerometer.

When the system is arranged for automatic leveling, the platform angles respond to any horizontal components of acceleration acting on the accelerometers.

The effect is that the platform returns from an off-level position at a rapid rate until it is nearly level, at which point the platform is controlled by a proportional servo with low enough frequency response so that the noise has little effect on the leveling process.

However, skill is required on the part of an operator to level a platform to any degree of accuracy.

Before the accelerometers are mounted on the platform, the direction of their sensitive axis must be accurately determined.

With the transit set up, a mirror on one of the accelerometers is sighted and the platform is turned until it is aligned.

With this situation, it is difficult to sight in on the platform with surveying equipment.

If the platform is not too high off the ground, a transit can be mounted on a stand to raise it up to the platform.

This instrument provides an electrical signal proportional to the angular deviations of the platform and can be used to automatically hold the platform on true heading.

The accelerometers are mounted rigidly on the platform.

In Fig. 7-4, the input axis of the three-axis platform is shown at some point on the earth.

Since the earth is rotating and the unleveled gyro-stabilized platform is fixed with respect to a reference in space, an observer on the earth will see the platform rotating ( with respect to the earth ).

How could supplying Eichmann with a platform on which to maintain that one could collaborate in the murder of millions of Jews without being an anti-semite contribute to a verdict against anti-Semitism??

As the success of McCulloh ’ s parasail winchboat grew around the world, operators required different performance from their parasail canopies as they were no longer flying directly from the beach or a fixed platform.

Isla de Tierra is a steep, 11 m ( 33 ft ) high rocky platform, 114 meters north of the Moroccan beach, 192 meters long northeast-southwest, and up to 87 meters wide, yielding an area of 1. 7 ha or 0. 017 km².

The vehicle drives across the beach with its wheels underwater on the sandy bottom while its driver and passengers sit on a platform high above.

In the following year the boardwalk at the beach end of the west bank was constructed to protect the dunes, and the seawatching platform was added at its northern end.

The platform has a track on each side and the old goods shed, which is now used for locomotive maintenance, is situated on the north side between the platform and the beach.

Sometimes the landward side of the platform is covered by sand, forming the beach, and then the platform can only be identified at low tides or when storms move the sand.

Marine environments such as outer and inner shelf, platform reef, and near shore beach and lagoon are all represented within the ' Imperial Formation.

Since then its has become a landmark and popular diving platform for beach users.

The climactic roller coaster live action scenes were filmed on location at The Pike in Long Beach, California and featured The Cyclone Racer entrance ramp, ticket booth, loading platform, and views of the structure from the beach.

These are the hawk watching platform ( for hawks ), the nature and hiking trails ( for songbirds ) and the beach ( shorebirds ).

* Fort of São João Baptista da Praia Formosa ()-also, referred to one time as the Castle of São João Baptista, its ruins are located in the southwest corner of the beach in Praia Formosa ; a small fort, it is constituted by platform of bastions, partially walled and garrisoned, but now limited along the beach by the access roadway, its walls are the only remnants that have survived weathering from ocean storms.

The building on the ' Down ' platform ( nearest the beach ) was destroyed by fire on 9 January 1924.

Trains towards Dawlish use the platform nearest the beach, which is only a few yards away.

The beach is cleaned daily during high season, and a bathing platform is moored in the bay.

Megalith: In the village of Sangliat Dol there is an antique stone stairway that leads from the beach to a boat shaped stone platform.

Behind this is a minber or Moslem pulpit and near it a raised platform with golden grillwork, where the emperors and, after them, the sultans, sat.

The restrained gyro-stabilized platform with reasonable response characteristics operates with an approximate equation of motion, neglecting transient effects, as follows: Af where U is a torque applied about the output axis of the controlling gyro.

Thus if the gyro and platform-controller combination maintains the platform with zero angular deviation about the **yf axis, the system can be rotated with an angular velocity Af if a torque is supplied to the gyro output axis Aj.

However, the leveling operation can be maintained and controlled remotely with no mechanical or optical contact with the platform.

Essentially, the stator or reference portion of the pickoff is established with respect to the true heading direction, and the platform is turned either manually or automatically until the angular electrical pickoff signal is reduced to zero.

Figure 7-3 shows a platform system with the gyro vectors arranged as described above.

If the resulting four kilobyte table size is too large for a given target platform, the table lookup operation can be performed with a single 256-entry 32-bit ( i. e. 1 kilobyte ) table by the use of circular rotates.

The Pnyx with the speaker's platform, the meeting place of the people of Athens.

As an experimental problem solving platform, the project showcases and collects ideas at scale with local and global impact.

Finding it difficult to bombard with catapults, he ordered the construction of a platform where his siege weapons could be mounted to greater effect, and cut the water supply.

There was an artificial platform there and this apparent verification of Thom's long alignment hypothesis ( Kintraw was diagnosed as an accurate winter solstice site ) led him to check Thom's geometrical theories at the Cultoon stone circle in Islay, also with a positive result.

AMOS competed on the Amiga platform with Acid Software's Blitz BASIC.

Most of the C code being written nowadays is based on ANSI C. Any program written only in standard C and without any hardware dependent assumptions is virtually guaranteed to compile correctly on any platform with a conforming C implementation.
