As an architect or engineer becomes more concerned with the disadvantages of transportation networks, and dependence on distant resources, their designs tend to include more autonomous elements.

Land mine designs tend to use as little metal as possible to make searching with a metal detector more difficult ; land mines made mostly of plastic have the added advantage of being very inexpensive.

His designs tend to include a strong sense of geometry, often being based on very simple shapes, yet creating unique volumes of space.

With no way to lock the hammer back, DAO designs tend to have bobbed or spurless hammers, and may even have the hammer completely covered by the revolver's frame ( i. e., shrouded or hooded ).

Spears used primarily for thrusting may be used with either one or two hands and tend to have heavier and sturdier designs than those intended exclusively for throwing.

Older designs, especially through the early 1900s, tend to use fine white or ivory thread ( 50 to 100 widths to the inch ) and intricate designs.

The second-system effect proposes that, when an architect designs a second system, it is the most dangerous system he will ever design, because he will tend to incorporate all of the additions he originated but did not add ( due to inherent time constraints ) to the first system.

Modern designs tend to have a very wide beam and a flat bottom aft, to provide buoyancy preventing an excessive heel angle and to promote surfing and planning.

Surface warship designs tend to aim for a balanced combination of all three areas.

Traditional defined benefit plan designs ( because of their typically flat accrual rate and the decreasing time for interest discounting as people get closer to retirement age ) tend to exhibit a J-shaped accrual pattern of benefits, where the present value of benefits grows quite slowly early in an employee's career and accelerates significantly in mid-career: in other words it costs more to fund the pension for older employees than for younger ones ( an " age bias ").

Republics tend to feature national monuments, symbols, or stylised designs ( such as French coins ).

Standard designs tend to be used because unusual configurations may require complex, expensive custom design of each strut, vertex and panel.

Yet they tend to fare poorly in fighter-to-fighter combat against the same " less capable " designs due to limited maneuverability.

Although tablet PCs are usually larger than tablet computers, they tend to be based on relatively small laptop designs, with screen sizes from.

Some manufacturers offer folding or break-apart designs, but these tend to be expensive.

Subsequent designs, either licensed from Sony or manufactured after the patent's expiration, tend to use the-tron suffix, such as Mitsubishi's DiamondTron and ViewSonic's SonicTron.

Few fixed-wing designs are currently employed, as air forces tend to assign the task to the ubiquitous multirole combat aircraft ( sometimes described also as strike fighters ).

These designs tend to be smaller as they do not need the air bottle.

However, certain processor features tend to lead to designs that have higher-than-average IPC values ; the presence of multiple arithmetic logic units ( an ALU is a processor subsystem that can perform elementary arithmetic and logical operations ), and short pipelines.

It is supposed to work under boundary lubricating conditions, which good engine designs tend to avoid anyway.

Knizia's thematic game designs tend not to try to model a specific environment, but instead try to invoke the thought and decision-making processes that are key to the theme.

Bondaletov in 1978 in the USSR achieved record acceleration with a single stage by sending a 2-gram ring to 5000 m / s in 1 cm of length, but the most efficient modern designs tend to involve many stages.

A few designs show artistic flair but most tend to be regular, geometric and repetitious with little or no variation in execution.

conduct engineering research and technical development work to determine, by laboratory and pilot plant testing, the results of the research and studies aforesaid in order to develop processes and plant designs to the point where they can be demonstrated on a large and practical scale ; ;

The Drexel collection, called Composite, to be shown by Titche's offers a realistic approach to decorating, a mature modern that is a variation of many designs.

Vessels carry one or more temporary anchors, which may be of different designs and weights.

The stock is hinged so the flukes can orient toward the bottom ( and on some designs may be adjusted for an optimal angle depending on the bottom type ).

Weight for weight, screw anchors have a higher holding than other permanent designs, and so can be cheap and relatively easily installed, although may not be ideal in extremely soft mud.

Other impacted resources, such as oil reserves and the retention of the local watershed, can often be cheaply conserved by thoughtful designs.

19th century craftsmen were famed for their ornate wooden hunting hats, which feature elaborate and colorful designs and may be trimmed with sea lion whiskers, feathers, and ivory.

The basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which could be easily analyzed by nineteenth and early twentieth century engineers.

With engine power as a major limitation, combined with the desire for accuracy and other operational factors, bomber designs tended to be tailored to one particular role.

Front-engined buses still persist for niche markets such as American school buses, some minibuses, and buses in less developed countries, which may be derived from truck chassis, rather than purpose-built bus designs.

The buses to be found in countries around the world often reflect the quality of the local road network, with high floor resilient truck based designs prevalent in several less developed countries where buses are subject to tough operating conditions.

Tribal boomerangs may be inscribed and / or painted with designs meaningful to their makers.

Aspects of combinatorics include counting the structures of a given kind and size ( enumerative combinatorics ), deciding when certain criteria can be met, and constructing and analyzing objects meeting the criteria ( as in combinatorial designs and matroid theory ), finding " largest ", " smallest ", or " optimal " objects ( extremal combinatorics and combinatorial optimization ), and studying combinatorial structures arising in an algebraic context, or applying algebraic techniques to combinatorial problems ( algebraic combinatorics ).

Rather than totally removing the clock signal, some CPU designs allow certain portions of the device to be asynchronous, such as using asynchronous ALUs in conjunction with superscalar pipelining to achieve some arithmetic performance gains.

Each group of seniors designs a " stack " to be solved by a handful of underclassmen.

Bikes can also be heavily customized, with different seat designs and handle bars, for example.

Advances in transistor and computer technology have contributed to self-correcting avionic and aeronautical designs that allow missiles to be guided in flight, as opposed to only at launch.

The term can also be used to refer to the designs of such persons or to the practical consequences of their emergent behavior, and also holds a general meaning of intrigue and conspiracy.

* Centrifugal forces can be used to generate artificial gravity, as in proposed designs for rotating space stations.

While many designs achieved the aim of higher throughput at lower cost and also allowed high-level language constructs to be expressed by fewer instructions, it was observed that this was not always the case.

Even in balanced high performance designs, highly encoded and ( relatively ) high-level instructions could be complicated to decode and execute efficiently within a limited transistor budget.

The first ( retroactively ) RISC-labeled processor ( IBM 801-IBMs Watson Research Center, mid-1970s ) was a tightly pipelined simple machine originally intended to be used as an internal microcode kernel, or engine, in CISC designs, but also became the processor that introduced the RISC idea to a somewhat larger public.

The frequent memory accesses for operands of a typical CISC machine may limit the instruction level parallelism that can be extracted from the code, although this is strongly mediated by the fast cache structures used in modern designs, as well as by other measures.

In some cases, it may be unnecessary and / or impractical to expect a designer with a broad multidisciplinary knowledge required for such designs to also have a detailed specialized knowledge of how to produce the product.
