Modern CAD packages can also frequently allow rotations in three dimensions, allowing viewing of a designed object from any desired angle, even from the inside looking out.

Modern Petri dishes often have rings on the lids and bases, which allow them to be stacked so that they do not slide off one another.

Modern kitchens often have enough informal space to allow for people to eat in it without having to use the formal dining room.

The law does allow a person to retain a patronymic as a middle name in addition to the surname, as was common in Early Modern times ; this is not a common practice, but does occur, a modern example being Audhild Gregoriusdotter Rotevatn ).

Modern Trombe walls have vents added to the top and bottom of the interior wall, to allow heated air to flow via convection into the building interior.

Modern designs allow performance approaching the theoretical maximum Carnot efficiency and the largest built in 1999 by the USA generated 250 kW.

Robson attended Waterhouses Secondary Modern School but the headmaster did not allow the school football team to join a league.

Modern computers without serial ports may require serial-to-USB converters to allow compatibility with RS 232 serial devices.

Modern FDM systems often use sophisticated modulation methods that allow several data signals to be transmitted through each frequency channel.

Modern muzzleloading firearms range from reproductions of sidelock, flintlock and percussion long guns, to in-line rifles that use modern inventions such as a closed breech, sealed primer and fast rifling to allow for considerable accuracy at long ranges.

Modern implementations allow for new players to join after the game has started, the maximum number of players that can join is arbitrary for each game, map and rules and can be selected by the server.

Modern microscopes allow more than just observation of transmitted light image of a sample ; there are many techniques which can be used to extract other kinds of data.

Modern set-theoretic approaches allow one to define infinitesimals via the ultrapower construction, where a null sequence becomes an infinitesimal in the sense of an equivalence class modulo a relation defined in terms of a suitable ultrafilter.

Modern top models are fully computerized, using integrated circuit technology to allow the user to set sensitivity, discrimination, track speed, threshold volume, notch filters, etc., and hold these parameters in memory for future use.

Modern motorway control systems can work without human intervention using various types of sensors to measure traffic flow and weather conditions.

Modern efforts such as future studies attempt to predict social trends, while more ancient practices, such as weather forecasting, have benefited from scientific and causal modelling.
