He worked hard to repair the fiscally irresponsible Internal Improvements Act that built expensive bridges, canals, roads and highways, often in places where few people or communities existed.

Improvements since then have largely been better phosphors, longer life, and more consistent internal discharge, and easier-to-use shapes ( such as compact fluorescent lamps ).

Improvements in submarine communications cables, through the use of fiber-optics, caused some decline in the use of satellites for fixed telephony in the late 20th century, but they still serve remote islands such as Ascension Island, Saint Helena, Diego Garcia, and Easter Island, where no submarine cables are in service.

Improvements in technology since then have resulted in greater use of the smaller arrays, by sites such as the Côte d ' Azur Observatory in Grasse, France ; and the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation ( APOLLO ) at the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico.

The first such scheme was proposed in 1677 by Andrew Yarranton, who published his idea in a work entitled England's Improvements by Sea and Land.

Improvements were also made in areas such as housing, education and medical care.

Improvements to the cutoff such as adding a ferry to cross the Snake River made it into a popular alternative route of the Oregon Trail.

Improvements include drivetrains analogous to ( in automobiles ) an automatic transmission instead of a manual transmission such as the early Euclid C-6 and TC-12 or Model C Tournadozer, blade movement controlled by hydraulic cylinders or electric motors instead of early models ' cable winch / brake, and automatic grade control.

Improvements in the design of protective athletic gear such as helmets may decrease the number and severity of such injuries.

Improvements to Ontario's highways, such as the Trans-Canada Highway ( Georgian Bay Route ) completed in 1962, brought about stiff competition for the company.

Improvements such as the overpass crossings of Interstate 64 and upgrades of State Route 199, and U. S. Route 17 at Yorktown, all major traffic arteries, were accomplished in a manner so as to be virtually unnoticeable to travelers along the Parkway.

Improvements may include surveillance equipment, new locks, alarm systems, new doors and windows ( often with shatter-proof laminates applied to the glass ), safes, lock boxes, and thief-deterrent landscaping ( such as thorny bushes ), along with advice on improving security-conscious habits.

Improvements in water quality may occur in the near future, since it is the focus of conservation and cleanup efforts by such organizations as the Cannon River Watershed Partnership and The Nature Conservancy.

Improvements in corporate governance are often the result of shareholders ( such as active private investors or activist investment funds ) holding boards ( whether one-or two-tier ) of companies in which they invest to account.

Improvements are ongoing, some of them significant ( such as the addition of an 800-vehicle underground parking structure ), to ensure that the building can continue to function effectively.

# Improvements in alcoholic beverage labeling, including strengthening and expanding the current mandated warning label and providing additional consumer on alcoholic beverage containers, such as ingredients, alcohol content, calories, information about standard units of service, and a toll-free telephone number for consumer questions about alcohol.

Improvements were higher clock rates ( up to 2 GHz ), a larger 1 MB L2 cache, a faster 200 MHz front side bus, and lower power consumption ( 18 W at 1. 7 GHz ).

Improvements to allow faster speeds on a 2. 5 mile stretch near Stockport could also shave off 2 – 3 minutes.

Improvements of over 7 times faster than a 2400 bit / s modem were not uncommon.

Improvements include better navigation system, better targeting system, more payload, longer range, faster lift-off, longer storage time, quicker launch, and lower detection possibility.

Improvements in this fixture include improved optics, 360 degree barrel rotation, a specialized yoke design allowing for rapid tool-free short yoking, a quick change lamp and improved heat dissipation technology and design integration.

Improvements in speed, slice count, and image quality have been the major focus primarily for cardiac imaging.

Improvements in the ability to train horses soon allowed them to be used to pull chariots, possibly as early as 2100 BC, and their greater speed and power made chariots even more efficient.

Improvements were made in molding speed, molding sand preparation, sand mixing, core manufacturing processes, and the slow metal melting rate in cupola furnaces.

Improvements in hardware have allowed them to be replaced with outline or stroke fonts in cases where arbitrary scaling is desirable, but bitmap fonts are still in common use in embedded systems and other places where speed and simplicity are considered important.

Improvements may include installing double tracks where presently the route is single line, improved signalling giving increased track capacity, enhanced line speed, longer trains at peak times and ultimately putting on more frequent trains to and from Manchester throughout the day.

Improvements and updates to the HTTP / 1. 1 standard were released under RFC 2616 in June 1999.

Improvements over the S / 360 first released in the S / 370 model range included:

* Improvements / refurbishment of facilities for the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Environment.

Improvements to Reason include Thor, a modular synth ; RPG-8, a real-time programmable arpeggiator ; ReGroove, a detimer / dequantizer ; and a complete change to Reason's sequencer that includes tempo and meter changes as well as support for complex meters.

The $ 1 billion Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project will add a high-occupancy vehicle lane and associated changes to freeway entrances, exits, and underpasses along a 10-mile stretch through the Sepulveda Pass between I-10 and U. S. 101 / Ventura Boulevard.
