** Elevator pitch, a very short sales presentation, allegedly short enough to be made during an elevator ride

* an " elevator pitch "-a three minute summary of the business plan's executive summary.

On an aircraft, the rudder is a directional control surface along with the rudder-like elevator ( usually attached to horizontal tail structure, if not a slab elevator ) and ailerons ( attached to the wings ) that control pitch and roll, respectively.

A short input ( in control systems terminology an impulse ) in pitch ( generally via the elevator in a standard configuration fixed wing aircraft ) will generally lead to overshoots about the trimmed condition.

In a conventional aircraft tail configuration, the rudder provides yaw ( horizontal ) control and the elevator provides pitch ( vertical ) control.

Although elevator and rudder control would be lost, the aircrew would still be able to control the aircraft's pitch ( up and down ) with stabilizer trim, and would be able to control roll ( left and right ) with some of the aircraft's ailerons and spoilers.

Elevons are aircraft control surfaces that combine the functions of the elevator ( used for pitch control ) and the aileron ( used for roll control ), hence the name.

The most commonly available control is a wheel or other device to control elevator trim, so that the pilot does not have to maintain constant backward or forward pressure to hold a specific pitch attitude ( other types of trim, for rudder and ailerons, are common on larger aircraft but may also appear on smaller ones ).

Many trends in business can be attributed to marketing communications ; for example: the transition from customer service to customer relations, and the transition from human resources to human solutions and the trends to blogs, email, and other online communication derived from an elevator pitch.

The elevators may be the only pitch control surface present ( and are then called a slab elevator or stabilator ), or may be hinged to a fixed or adjustable surface called a tailplane or horizontal stabilizer.

Most fixed-wing aircraft control pitch using a hinged horizontal flap — the elevator — attached to the back of the fixed horizontal stabilizer, but some aircraft make the entire stabilizer movable.

The elevator is a movable airfoil that controls changes in pitch, the up-and-down motion of the aircraft's nose.

It can be excited by an elevator singlet ( a short, sharp deflection followed by a return to the centered position ) resulting in a pitch increase with no change in trim from the cruise condition.

In micro-lights and hang gliders the pitch action is reversed-the pitch control system is much simpler so when the pilot moves the elevator control backwards it produces a nose-down pitch and the angle of attack on the wing is reduced.

To produce pitch like an elevator, the surfaces move in opposite directions.

The name " elevator pitch " reflects the idea that it should be possible to deliver the summary in the time span of an elevator ride, or approximately thirty seconds to two minutes.

An elevator pitch may be presented in oral, written, and video formats.

An elevator pitch is often used by an entrepreneur pitching an idea to a venture capitalist or angel investor to receive funding.

In The Perfect Elevator Speech, Aileen Pincus states that an elevator speech should " sum up unique aspects of your service or product in a way that excites others ".

Braille is a tactile writing system used by the blind and the visually impaired, and found in books, on menus, signs, elevator buttons, and currency.

A simplified version of this is embodied in Einstein's elevator experiment, illustrated in the figure on the right: for an observer in a small enclosed room, it is impossible to decide, by mapping the trajectory of bodies such as a dropped ball, whether the room is at rest in a gravitational field, or in free space aboard an accelerating rocket generating a force equal to gravity.

Although the front entrance is on the ' ground floor ', commuters are taken through a set of escalators to the 3rd floor elevator lobby.

A space elevator is a structure designed to transport material from a planet's surface into orbit.

The fundamental idea is that, once the expensive job of building the elevator is complete, an indefinite number of loads can be transported into orbit at minimal cost.

A terrestrial space elevator is beyond our current technology, although a lunar space elevator could theoretically be built using existing materials.

He is considered the father of spaceflight and the first person to conceive the space elevator, becoming inspired in 1895 by the newly-constructed Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The program in this case is part of some very simple software designed to control an elevator.

This part of the program is run whenever anyone inside the elevator presses the button for a floor.

* 1857 – Elisha Otis's first elevator is installed at 488 Broadway New York City.

For example, if an apple is sitting in a glass elevator that is descending, an outside observer looking into the elevator sees the apple moving, so to that observer the apple has a nonzero momentum.

The two observers each have a frame of reference in which they observe motions, and if the elevator is descending steadily they will see behavior that is consistent with the same physical laws.

These are short speeches that could be made in the course of an elevator ride to those who knew nothing of the religion.

The first elevator observed will be going down only if one begins observing in the short interval after an elevator has passed going up, while the rest of the time the first elevator observed will be going up.

The short was set in an elevator and was intended to give investors an idea of how Cube would hypothetically look and come across.

He also produced the classic 1973 short film Television Delivers People, a critique of the corporate mass media with elevator music as the soundtrack.

Upon entering at ground level, one is brought by an elevator ( here called a " cybrolator ," containing a short & humorous animation of Genie welcoming you ) up to the center of the third floor ( the " Ventureport "), where one's visit begins.

The episode featured a longer ending than the short story, in which Renshaw is attacked again and makes it out of the penthouse for a final showdown in the elevator shaft with an angry plastic commando ( played by an uncredited Bill Barretta ).

Droopy also had cameos in all three subsequently-produced Roger Rabbit shorts, Tummy Trouble ( again he's an elevator operator ), Roller Coaster Rabbit ( he plays a bad guy dressed as Snidely Whiplash ), and Trail Mix-Up ( he plays a scuba diver ) ( played by Williams in the first short and by Corey Burton in the latter two ).

An unusual example of this is an elevator designed for the game — the extremely short snippet of code has been adapted for several purposes across MU * space, from trains to conveyor belts.

But as the elevator door closes she sees that the figure pursuing her is in fact her own daughter – with short hair – and realizes she is carrying Mitsuko, who, gripping her neck, claims Yoshimi as mother in a torrent of water.

At platform level, the access to the elevator is behind a narrow door and a short corridor.

The exception to this is for a short time around move-in and move-out periods when parking is free and the elevator banks are permitted to drop to the 3rd floor of the garage, bypassing security and easing the moving experience.

These trains may originate from a single grain elevator, or may be marshalled in a yard from various locals ( short trains which serve nearby industries ).

At the west end, a short concourse with an elevator and escalators connects the mall with the Reading Terminal Market, Hard Rock Cafe restaurant, the head house for the old Reading Terminal ( now part of the Pennsylvania Convention Center ) and a Marriott hotel, which are all on the periphery.

Guests viewed a short movie about the formation of the oceans entitled The Sea, which was followed by an elevator ride to the ocean floor aboard a " Hydrolator " ( in reality, guests only moved down approximately two inches ).

Gwar makes short work of the guards and the other board members, but Glom escapes to his private elevator.

Another of Gibbs ' quirks is his tendency to stop the building's elevator between floors if he needs to have a short, urgent, private conversation with someone.
