We are now in a position like that of the British Interplanetary Society of the 1930s which described how multistage liquid-fueled rockets could reach the Moon and pointed to early rockets as illustrations of the basic principle.

Furthermore, to the postulates of quantum mechanics one should also add basic statements on the properties of spin and Pauli's exclusion principle, see below.

The property of spin relates to another basic property concerning systems of N identical particles: Pauli's exclusion principle, which is a consequence of the following permutation behaviour of an N-particle wave function ; again in the position representation one must postulate that for the transposition of any two of the N particles one always should have

Although spin and the Pauli principle can only be derived from relativistic generalizations of quantum mechanics the properties mentioned in the last two paragraphs belong to the basic postulates already in the non-relativistic limit.

A basic principle of whether a given dough can be used for mitzva matzo is that doughs that do not have the potential of becoming chametz by simply sitting for 18 minutes cannot be made into mitzva matzo.

Most file types also allocate a few bytes for metadata, which allows a file to carry some basic information about itself.

Some aircraft, the Panavia Tornado for example, retain a very basic hydro-mechanical backup system for limited flight control capability on losing electrical power, in the case of the Tornado this allows rudimentary control of the stabilators only for pitch and roll axis movements.

Free basic membership allows users to see coordinates for most caches in its database ; premium membership includes a fee for additional features, including advanced search tools and caches designed for premium members.

The basic tools are software: A microassembler allows a programmer to define the table of bits symbolically.

Myrinet is a lightweight protocol with little overhead that allows it to operate with throughput close to the basic signaling speed of the physical layer.

Morse – Kelley set theory admits proper classes as basic objects, like NBG, but also allows quantification over all proper classes in its set existence axioms.

At the most basic level Personal Communications Service or PCS describes a set of wireless communications capabilities that allows some combination of terminal mobility, personal mobility, and service profile management.

In its most basic form, a shell script can provide a convenient variation of a system command where special environment settings, command options, or post-processing is applied automatically, but in a way that allows the new script to still act as a fully normal Unix command.

Many turbochargers use a basic wastegate, which allows smaller turbochargers to reduce turbo lag.

Blocking is a basic technique that allows a player to defend against attacks.

The basic format of a SONET / SDH signal allows it to carry many different services in its virtual container ( VC ), because it is bandwidth-flexible.

Removing the integer-based index from the basic element allows for a different iteration interface to be implemented.

In basic terms, it allows the wavefunction of a molecule to be broken into its electronic and nuclear ( vibrational, rotational ) components.

Plantinga has also developed a more comprehensive epistemological account of the nature of warrant which allows for the existence of God as a basic belief.

SPDM ( spectral precision distance microscopy ), the basic localization microscopy technology is a light optical process of fluorescence microscopy which allows position, distance and angle measurements on " optically isolated " particles ( e. g. molecules ) well below the theoretical limit of resolution for light microscopy.

However, even analogue uses of the scan, such as operating instruments directly, benefits from the recreated master because of the way it removes timing errors from the basic scan, and in so doing allows the accuracy of the scanner itself to be calibrated.

In addition to these objects, SAPHIRE has a unique feature known as “ table events ” that allows the user to group up to eight basic events together on the fault tree graphic, thereby compacting the size of the fault tree on the printed page or computer screen.

In addition to the basic C API, there are also Python, Java, Lisp, Tcl and C ++ among other bindings, like one from Haskell which allows control of Csound from a purely functional environment.

This method accommodates the curvature problem within a township, and it also allows for any errors made during the surveying itself —- which were nearly unavoidable due to the physical difficulty of the work and the crude equipment used —- without overly compromising the basic rectangular nature of the system as a whole.
