However, the success of the XM-291 doesn't imply the success of ETC technology as there are key parts of the propulsion system that are not yet understood or fully developed, such as the plasma ignition process.

Nevertheless, there is substantial existing evidence that ETC technology is viable and something worth the money to continue development.

Although the XM-291 does not immediately mean that ETC technology is viable at this current point in time it does offer an example that it is possible and that continued research in the area is worth the advantages reaped if such a system was to be successfully implemented on a modern tank.

Furthermore, ETC technology is not only applicable to solid propellants.

Telecommunications in Ethiopia is currently a monopoly in the control of Ethio Telecom, formerly the Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation ( ETC ); all telephone service and internet access requires Ethio Telecom to be involved.

: ETC is the estimate to complete the remaining work of the project.

ETC is also a more viable option than other alternatives by definition.

Tests have shown that energy output by the propellant is higher than energy input from outside sources on ETC guns.

The world headquarters of one of the world's largest theatrical lighting manufacturers, Electronic Theatre Controls ( ETC ), is located here.

The picture, then, is that there is a large " extended technicolor " ( ETC ) gauge group G < sub > ETC </ sub > ⊃ G < sub > TC </ sub > in which technifermions, quarks, and leptons live in the same representations.

At one or more high scales Λ < sub > ETC </ sub >, G < sub > ETC </ sub > is broken down to G < sub > TC </ sub >, and quarks and leptons emerge as the TC-singlet fermions.

In 1981 Holdom suggested that, if the α < sub > TC </ sub >( μ ) evolves to a nontrivial fixed point in the ultraviolet, with a large positive anomalous dimension γ < sub > m </ sub > for, realistic quark and lepton masses could arise with Λ < sub > ETC </ sub > large enough to suppress ETC-induced mixing.

SunPass, like the other related ETC systems in Florida, is currently not compatible with E-ZPass or other ETC systems outside of Florida.

Vidya Balan was born on 1 January 1978 in Ottapalam, a town in the Palakkad District of Kerala, to P. R. Balan, currently the Vice President of ETC India, and Saraswathy Balan, a homemaker.

She was educated at the North London Collegiate School and Somerville College, Oxford, where she read English, performed with the Oxford University Dramatic Society ( OUDS ), became Secretary of The Experimental Theatre Club ( ETC ) and joined the Oxford Theatre Group, performing in Oxford and Edinburgh.

Starstruck at an early age, he honed his skills in Chicago, where he performed at various theaters, including The Court Theater and The Second City, where he was a member of their Chicago ETC theater.

Village Balia Vakutia is famous for its small Weaving industry ( loom ). where produce Shari, Lungi, Gamsa ETC handmade clothes.

The ETC is also working ' behind the scenes ' to dramatically improve the ease with which the driver can execute gear changes and deal with the dramatic torque changes associated with rapid accelerations and decelerations.

ETC increases the performance of conventional solid propellants, reduces the effect of temperature on propellant expansion and allows for more advanced, higher density propellants to be used.

Despite these daunting tasks FLARE has been seen as the most plausible igniter for future application on ETC guns.

There has even been discussion about eliminating the necessity for an outside electrical source in ETC ignition by initiating the plasma cartridge through a small explosive force.

He had the unprecedented distinction of being elected President of both the Oxford University Dramatic Society and the Experimental Theatre Club ( the ETC ), in addition to being theatre critic for the university magazine Isis.

In 1963, she began recording messages for the Audichron Company ( now known as ETC ) announcing time, temperature and weather, as well as recordings for early voice mail systems.

In addition to the ETC proposal for quark and lepton masses, Eichten and Lane observed that the size of the ETC representations required to generate all quark and lepton masses suggests that there will be more than one electroweak doublet of technifermions.

An application of Dashen's theorem gives for the ETC contribution to their mass

Perhaps the most important restriction on the ETC framework for quark mass generation is that ETC interactions are likely to induce flavor-changing neutral current processes such as μ → e γ, K < sub > L </ sub > → μ e, and &# 124 ; Δ S &# 124 ; &# 61 ; 2 and &# 124 ; Δ B &# 124 ; &# 61 ; 2 interactions that induce and mixing.

Such huge ETC mass scales imply tiny quark and lepton masses and ETC contributions to M < sub > πT </ sub > of at most a few GeV, in conflict with LEP searches for π < sub > T </ sub > at the Z < sup > 0 </ sup >.

ETC determines whether the cars passing are enrolled in the program, alerts enforcers for those that are not, and electronically debits the accounts of registered car owners without requiring them to stop.
