The United States Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS ) issued its own study in June 2006 showing that up to 10, 000 fatal US crashes could be avoided annually if all vehicles were equipped with ESC The IIHS study concluded that ESC reduces the likelihood of all fatal crashes by 43 %, fatal single-vehicle crashes by 56 %, and fatal single-vehicle rollovers by 77 – 80 %.

For 1st Dan and above, they are held at a European workshop organised by the European Shintaido College ( ESC ).

* The clue " PC key " for a three-letter answer could be ESC, ALT, TAB, or even DEL, but until a check is filled in, giving at least one of the letters, the correct answer cannot be determined.

Approaching ethnic music in the album “ Da Gama ”, Rita Guerra got the help of maestro Pedro Osório and Paulo de Carvalho, Portuguese representative at ESC 1974.

During a moose test ( swerving to avoid an obstacle ), which became famous in Germany as " the Elk test ", the Swedish journalist Robert Collin of Teknikens Värld ( World of Technology ) in October 1997 rolled a Mercedes A-Class ( without ESC ) at 78 km / h.

The availability of ESC in small cars like the A-Class ignited a market trend so that ESC became available for all models at least as an option.

The sensors used for ESC have to send data at all times in order to detect possible defects as soon as possible.

The ESC will automatically reactivate at highway speeds, and below that if it detects a skid with the brake pedal depressed.

She represented Albania at the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest with the song " The Image of You " in the country's debut year in the ESC.

) Anjeza sang in the semi-final of ESC on 12 May 2004, using as backing vocalists singers who had lost out at the Albanian selection procedure, and finished fourth out of twenty-two.

On the night of the Dutch National Song Contest, the song had already been selected to be performed at the ESC, but there were two other singers competing for the honor of performing the song: Albert West and Debbie.

ESC / Java ( and more recently ESC / Java2 ), the " Extended Static Checker for Java ," is a programming tool that attempts to find common run-time errors in Java programs at compile time.

ESC / Java was originally developed at the Compaq Systems Research Center ( SRC ).

Since 2004, ESC / Java2 development has been managed by the KindSoftware Research Group at University College Dublin.

However, in 2008 two noted Italian musicians, Vince Tempera ( he helped San Marino which took part in the ESC in 2008 ) and Eurovision winner Toto Cutugno expressed their sorrow at Italy's absence from the contest and called for the country to return to the contest.

They represented Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest four times ( and in four different languages, French in ESC 1971 with " Les illusions de nos vingt ans ", English in 1976 with " Djambo, Djambo ", German in 1979 with " Trödler und Co ", Italian in 1981 with " Io senza te ") and sold over 2 million records in Switzerland.

ESC was originally activated as the Electronic Systems Division ( ESD ) on 1 April 1961 at Laurence G. Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA.

Two years later, ESC was enlarged to become the AFMC Center of Excellence for Command and Control, with headquarters at Hanscom.

Today, ESC is pursuing a major initiative to standardize and upgrade C2ISR capabilities at Air Operations Centers, with the goal of realizing the Aerospace Operations Center of the future.

Many photographed and post processed at a custom built complex called ESC, located at the Alameda Naval Base near San Francisco.

The theory of operation is simple: when the gyroscopic sensor detects that the direction taken by the car does not coincide with what the steering wheel sensor reports, the ESC software will brake the necessary individual wheel ( s ) ( up to three with the most sophisticated systems ), so that the vehicle goes the way the driver intends.

ESC intervenes only when it detects a probable loss of steering control, i. e. when the vehicle is not going where the driver is steering.

For this reason, ESC systems typically inform the driver when they intervene, so that the driver knows that the vehicle's handling limits have been approached.

Many ESC systems have an " off " override switch so the driver can disable ESC, which may be desirable when badly stuck in mud or snow, or driving on a beach, or if using a smaller-sized spare tire which would interfere with the sensors.

However, ESC defaults to " On " when the ignition is restarted.

The history of the EMS began in 1988 when the European Seismological Commission ( ESC ) decided to review and update the Medvedev-Sponheuer-Karnik scale ( MSK-64 ), which was used in its basic form in Europe for almost a quarter of a century.

Generally the higher the rating, the larger and heavier the ESC tends to be which is a factor when calculating mass and balance in airplanes.

* 1999 " Hör den Kindern einfach zu " ( reached # 59 in Germany, 1st in German preselection for ESC )

* 2002 " I Can't Live Without Music " ( reached # 72 in Germany, 1st in German preselection for ESC )

* 2000 " I Believe in God " ( 2nd in German preselection for ESC )

Due to size and weight limitations, heat sinks are not common in RC aircraft electronic speed controller ( ESCs ), therefore the ESC is almost always smaller than the motor.

The NHTSA requires all new passenger vehicles to be equipped with ESC by 2012 and estimates it will prevent 5, 300 – 9, 600 annual fatalities once all passenger vehicles are equipped with the system.

ESC is built on top of an anti-lock brake ( ABS ) system, and all ESC-equipped vehicles are fitted with traction control.

However, consumer awareness affects buying patterns so that roughly 45 % of vehicles sold in North America and the UK are purchased with ESC, contrasting with 78 – 96 % in other European countries such as Germany, Denmark, and Sweden.

Luxury cars, sports cars, SUVs, and crossovers are usually equipped with ESC.

Midsize cars are also gradually catching on, though the 2008 model years of the Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion only offered ESC on their V6 engine-equipped cars ; however, some midsize cars, such as the Honda Accord had it as standard equipment by then.

While ESC includes traction control, there are vehicles such as the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu LS and 2008 Mazda6 that have traction control but not ESC.

Elaborate ESC and ESP systems ( including Roll Stability Control ( RSC )) are available for many commercial vehicles, including transport trucks, trailers, and buses from manufacturers such as Bendix Corporation, WABCO Daimler, Scania AB, and Prevost, and light passenger vehicles.

ESC advocates around the world are promoting increased ESC use through legislation and public awareness campaigns and by 2012, most new vehicles should be equipped with ESC.

However, it does mean that: firstly, there are programs that ESC / Java will erroneously consider to be incorrect ( known as false-positives ); secondly, there are incorrect programs it will consider to be correct ( known as false-negatives ).

Recent versions of ESC / Java are based around the Java Modeling Language ( JML ).

Different configurations can be purchased from Unicomp, including updated 104 / 105-key layouts, a " Linux " model ( where the Ctrl and Caps Lock keys, and the ESC and tilde keys, are swapped ), models with integrated Trackpoint pointing sticks or integrated trackballs, and POS-specific models, such as those with built-in magstripe readers.

The binary encodings for all new instructions began with the bit pattern 11011, decimal 27, the same as the ASCII character ESC ; similar instruction prefixes are also sometimes referred to as " escape codes ".

Some of these are ATTEND ( Agencies Teaming Together to End Non-attendance Dilemmas ), the Columbus Educators Association, ESC ( Educational Service Center ), and ESL ( English as a Second Language ).

The majority of each ESC's operating funds are generated from fees paid by school districts which contract with the ESC to provide services.

ESC are predicted to be inherently safer than IPS cells because they are not genetically modified with genes such as c-Myc that are linked to cancer.

Nonetheless, ESC express very high levels of the iPS inducing genes and these genes including Myc are essential for ESC self-renewal and pluripotency, and potential strategies to improve safety by eliminating Myc expression are unlikely to preserve the cells ' " stemness ".
