The newer rod projectiles may be effective against the more heavily armored areas of MBTs.

It is most effective in protecting against shaped charges and specially hardened long rod penetrators.

The rod lengths are calculated so that the effective length of the zinc rods multiplied by zinc's expansion coefficient equals the effective length of the iron rods multiplied by iron's expansion coefficient thereby keeping the pendulum the same length.

The newer rod projectiles may be effective against the more heavily armored areas of MBTs.

The High Explosive Anti-Armor ( HEAA ) rocket is effective against current tanks without additional armor and utilizes a standoff rod on the detonator, allowing the explosive force to be focused on a small point and for maximum damage against armored targets.

A few have only whatever motion the fisherman applies through the rod itself, though if skillfully used, they can be very effective.

The critical condition for buckling amplitude to remain less than about 25 times the effective rod straightness imperfection at the buckle wavelength is

The Harrington rod eventually became obsolete as newer, more effective types of spinal instrumentation were developed, such as XLIF ( eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion ).

There are two beads on each rod in the upper deck and five beads each in the bottom for both decimal and hexadecimal computation.

* In the Neal Stephenson novel The Diamond Age, ubiquitous molecular nanotechology is described to make use of " rod logic " similar to that imagined by Babbage's design for the Analytical Engine.

Franklin gained international renown as a scientist for his famous experiments in electricity and for his many inventions, especially the lightning rod.

Today, Bakelite is manufactured and produced in sheet, rod and tube form for hundreds of industrial applications in the electronics, power generation and aerospace industries, and under a variety of commercial brand names.

Generally, vertical rod numbers are used for the position for the units, hundreds, ten thousands, etc., while horizontal rod numbers are used for the tens, thousands, hundred thousands etc.

In many cases, such as the cabinet-directed prohibition on foreign ownership for broadcasters and the legislated principle of the predominance of Canadian content, these acts and orders often leave the CRTC less room to change policy than critics sometimes suggest, and the result is that the commission is often the lightning rod for policy criticism that could arguably be better directed at the government itself.

The earliest evidence, anywhere in the world, for a crank and connecting rod in a machine appears in the late Roman Hierapolis sawmill from the 3rd century AD and two Roman stone sawmills at Gerasa, Roman Syria, and Ephesus, Asia Minor ( both 6th century AD ).

The three finds push back the date of the invention of the crank and connecting rod back by a full millennium ; for the first time, all essential components of the much later steam engine were assembled by one technological culture:

( E ) exhaust camshaft, ( I ) intake camshaft, ( S ) spark plug, ( V ) poppet valve | valve s, ( P ) piston, ( R ) connecting rod, ( C ) crankshaft, ( W ) water jacket for coolant flow.

For some engines it is necessary to provide counterweights for the reciprocating mass of each piston and connecting rod to improve engine balance.

For a direct current system the weld rod or stick may be a cathode for a filling type weld or an anode for other welding processes.

The 17-year-old Enrico Fermi chose to derive and solve the partial differential equation for a vibrating rod, applying Fourier analysis.

By the 14th century, this had come to be used for the equipment used for fishing, referring to the rod and reel, etc., and also for that used in sailing, referring to rigging, equipment, or gear used on ships.

The retina of felids also contains a relatively high proportion of rod cells, adapted for perfectly distinguishing moving objects in conditions of dim light, which are complemented by the presence of cone cells for sensing color during the day.

The motion is of the lure is made by winding line back on to the reel, by sweeping the fishing rod, jigging movements with the fishing rod, or by trolling behind a moving boat.

For light and medium freshwater gamefishing, any reasonably robust casting or spinning rod can be used as a trolling rod.

In theory, for light and medium freshwater gamefishing, any casting or spinning rod ( with the possible exception of ultralight rods ) can be used for trolling.

As Great Lakes sportfishing in particular becomes more popular with each passing year, all rod manufacturers continue to expand their lines of dedicated " trolling " rods, though as noted, for most inland lake and stream fishing, a good casting or spinning rod is perfectly adequate for trolling.

Some of these innovations include the invention of monofilament nylon fishing lines, the fiberglass ( later graphite composite ) fishing rod, the electric trolling motor, the fish finder / depth locator, and new artificial lures and baits made of various plastics.

The motion of the lure is made by winding line back on to the reel, by sweeping the fishing rod, jigging movements with the fishing rod, or by being pulled behind a moving boat ( trolling ).

Tie rods may be connected at the ends in various ways, but it is desirable that the strength of the connection should be at least equal to the strength of the rod.

In theory, an ideal rod should gradually taper from butt to tip, be tight in all its joints ( if any ), and have a smooth, progressive taper, without ' dead spots '.

A rod is usually also classified by the optimal weight of fishing line or in the case of fly rods, fly line the rod should handle.

The only difference being that one should not open the telescopic rod in manner that whips a closed rod into the open position rapidly.

That so wonderful a rod should bear external signs of its importance is easily understood.

Her father had sworn that she should become the wife of the man who should be able to master the miraculous rod and of no other ( Pirḳe R. El.

Chemistry and medicines linked the rod of Hermes with the staff of the healer Asclepius, which was wound with a serpent ; it was conflated with Mercury's rod, and the modern medical symbol — which should simply be the rod of Asclepius — often became Mercury's wand of commerce.

It should be noted that unlike for instance in the east, blinding in medieval Poland was not accomplished by burning the eyes out with a red hot iron rod or knife, but a much more brutal technique was employed.

If the track rod is placed ahead of the axle, it should instead be longer in comparison, thus preserving this same " toe out ".

For example, in ( early ) tensor analysis elasticity, namely Young's Modulus, should not change simply because we measure it with tensile testing of a rectangular object ( a bar ) or cylindrical one ( a rod ).

Water heater tanks should be installed with physical access in mind, both for inspection and replacement of the long anode rod, and for the eventual replacement of the entire tank.

They need enough water to support their leaves, but it should not be exceed as to a root rod.

However, the influence of rod calculus on Hindu division is evident, for example in the division example, 324 should be 32400, only rod calculus used blanks for zeros.

Gaskets should never be left dangling, however, so when the sail is set they are brought around underneath the yard and up the back of it and then tied to the jackstay ( metal rod ) where they originated.
