One of the first military aircraft to use an APU was the Supermarine Nighthawk.

The first American military aircraft to use an APU unit was the USAF Douglas Globemaster II.

The Boeing 727 in 1963 was the first jetliner to feature a gas turbine APU, allowing it to operate at smaller airports, independent from ground facilities.

On some older diesel engines, an APU was used instead of an electric motor to start the main engine.

Initially Anglia Polytechnic University ( APU ), it retained the word ' polytechnic ' in its title because " the term ' polytechnic ' still had value to students and their potential employers, symbolising as it did the sort of education that they were known for – equipping students with effective practical skills for the world of work " although in 2000 there was some self-doubt about including the term ' polytechnic ' – it was the last university in the country to have done so.

Wanting to keep the ' APU ' abbreviation, a suggestion put forward by the governors was ' Anglia Prior University ' ( after a former Chancellor ), but the Governors decided to keep ' polytechnic ' in the title.

It was next scheduled for 4 November, but was again scrubbed when high oil pressures were discovered in two of the three Auxiliary Power Units ( APU ) that controlled the orbiter's hydraulic system.

The victory was achieved through the PAS-led coalition, called Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah ( APU ).

With Kenneth Craik he was responsible for setting up the Medical Research Council's Applied Psychology Research Unit ( APU ) at Cambridge in 1944, becoming Director of the unit after Craik's early death in 1945.

They made a number of detail changes to improve mass production, resulting in the GHN-45 ( gun, howitzer, Noricum ), which was offered in a variety of options like the APU and fire control systems.

APU 2 was still available for use in landing.

A reading of high pressure that was seen in a fuel line to one of the shuttle's three auxiliary power units earlier in the flight has dissipated, and controllers have confidence the APU would operate well if needed.

The cause was a non-return valve failing in the APU unit, resulting in hydraulic fluid igniting.

In 1984 a cluster of CGP200X with a proprietary 32-bit processor Analytic Processing Unit ( APU ) was offered as the Computervision Distributed System ( CDS ) 4000.

The APU was sometimes called " All Paws Up ".

SoundStorm was an advanced integrated 5. 1 sound technology certification developed by Nvidia for the nForce and nForce2 platforms based on the nForce audio processing unit ( APU ).

The DSP on the APU was normally driven by code largely derived from the 3D audio middleware company Sensaura.

The nForce2 APU was a purely digital component, and that motherboard manufacturers still had to use codec chips such as the 650 from Realtek for the audio output functions, including the necessary digital to analog conversion ( DAC ).

The Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah coalition ( APU ) was with the Muslim parties PAS, BERJASA, HAMIM and the newly formed Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress.

They were also the design authority for the carriage and Rheinmetall GmbH was the authority for the elevating mass, including the sights, and for the APU.

There were continual problems with the drive train on the flat-4 VW APU, and the hydraulic system was always vulnerable to the obvious problems posed by external, non-armoured hosing, in combat conditions.

She was also elected Speaker of The African Parliament Union ( APU ) to March 2007.

In addition, there is also a starter motor connected through the gear train to perform the starting function of the APU.

Two main corporations compete in the aircraft APU market: United Technologies Corporation ( through its subsidiaries Pratt & Whitney Canada, Hamilton Sundstrand and the recently acquired Goodrich Corporation ), and Honeywell International Inc.

A typical gas turbine APU for commercial transport aircraft comprises three main sections:

The orbiter's toilet malfunctioned on first use resulting in, according to Lousma, " eight days of colorful flushing "; one Auxiliary Power Unit ( APU ) overheated ( but worked properly during descent ); both crew members experienced some space sickness ; and on 26 March, three communications links were lost.

APU 2 is one of three redundant systems which provide hydraulic pressurization to orbiter steering systems during entry and landing.

When the three smaller Alaska colleges ( UAS, APU and Sheldon Jackson ) all shut down their sports programs in 1990, leaving just the University of Alaska Anchorage and University of Alaska Fairbanks with intercollegiate athletics programs, it had an impact on the UAS campus, Griffin said.

* electrical, hydraulic and other power-transmission sources to consuming devices remote from the APU.

This special gas turbine / turbocharger can also work independently from the main engine as an ordinary APU.

Aircraft with APUs can also accept electrical and pneumatic power from ground equipment when an APU has failed or is not to be used.

* " Sound of an APU from inside a Boeing 737 cabin "

* Ontario ( processor ), a computer APU from AMD

However, one of the most significant sources of cabin noise from commercial jet aircraft other than the engines is the Auxiliary Power Unit ( or APU ).

The SNES contains a sound module called APU ( Audio Processing Unit ) which is almost completely separate from the rest of the system: it is clocked at a nominal 24. 576 MHz in both NTSC and PAL systems, and can only communicate with the main board via 4 registers on Bus B.

Since the module is mostly self-contained, the state of the APU can be saved as an. SPC file, and can be emulated in a stand-alone manner to play back all game music ( except for a few games that constantly stream their samples from ROM ).

The fuel tank is pressurized with gaseous nitrogen at, which provides the force to expel ( positive expulsion ) the fuel from the tank to the fuel distribution line, maintaining a positive fuel supply to the APU throughout its operation.

The other source is electricity from large generators fitted to the main engines and APU.

The Topol-M may be deployed either inside a reinforced missile silo, which is reported to be able to withstand a direct nuclear hit or from a APU 15U168 launcher mounted on the MZKT-79221 " Universal " 16-wheeled transporter-erector-launcher.

It needs be considered that from a purely technical point of view, there is no reason why onboard sound from motherboards without the nForce APU and SoundStorm certification cannot reproduce non-processed sound such as an MP3 or CD without effects applied, as well as can a SoundStorm certified nForce2 motherboard.

APU has regular cultural weeks from different countries, which help students to learn more about foreign cultures, for example: Japanese Week, Chinese Week, Vietnamese Week, Korean Week, Indonesian Week, Taiwanese Week, Sri Lanka Week, Thai Week and African Week.

Compressed air is also obtained from the auxiliary power unit ( APU ), if fitted, in the event of an emergency and for cabin air supply on the ground before the main engines are started.

Private Scholarships are monies awarded to you from a source other than APU.
