" Only when the driver told Clemens to look up and he saw the light towers did he realize he was in the right place.

The keyboard sends the key code to the keyboard driver running in the main computer ; if the main computer is operating, it commands the light to turn on.

One of these was on 7 April 1977, when Federal Prosecutor Siegfried Buback, his driver, and his bodyguard were shot and killed by two RAF members while waiting at a red traffic light.

** German Federal Prosecutor Siegfried Buback and his driver are shot by 2 Red Army Faction members while waiting at a red light near his home in Karlsruhe.

In the accident, a driver named Robert Cato ran a red light at the corner of California Street and Franklin and crashed into her Luxor taxicab.

Engine failures were common, such as Ayrton Senna's huge crash during the 1985 French Grand Prix after the Renault engine in his Lotus failed and he went off backwards at Signes and crashed heavily, fortunately with only light bruising to the driver.

In North America, cars sold since the early 1970s have included an audiovisual reminder system consisting of a light on the dashboard and a buzzer or chime reminding the driver and passengers to fasten their belts.

However, if the driver was buckled up, the light would appear, but with no buzzer.

In Europe and some other parts of the world, most modern cars include a seat-belt reminder light for the driver and some also include a reminder for the passenger, when present, activated by a pressure sensor under the passenger seat.

Some cars will intermittently flash the reminder light and sound the chime until the driver ( and sometimes the front passenger, if present ) fasten their seatbelts.

LED drivers based on the PAM technique offer improved energy efficiency over systems based upon other common driver modulation techniques such as pulse-width modulation ( PWM ) as the forward current passing through an LED is relative to the intensity of the light output and the LED efficiency increases as the forward current is reduced.

The size of the screen and distance to shooter is entered into the gun driver software to determine the dimensions of the random blocks / pixels to best allow rendering on the light gun CCD.

BNC tools are usually light weight, made with stainless steel, and have screw driver type plastic handle grips for applying rotating torque.

A jeep driver comes to pick up Fitzgerald for the ride to HQ, and Fitzgerald sees the light also flash across the driver's face.

In British Columbia, the law addresses this problem by giving a left-turning driver already in an intersection the right-of-way to make the turn once the intersection is otherwise clear, regardless of the traffic light state.

The driver will now have to check the traffic light behind them, which is often impossible from the viewing angle of a driver's seat.

A driver comes to a stop on the crosswalk beyond the stop line as a result of attempting to avoid a red light violation.

In some episodes Mr. Bean has a long-running feud with the unseen driver of a light blue Reliant Regal Supervan III ( registration GRA 26K ), which will usually get turned over, crashed out of its parking space and so forth by Mr. Bean in his mini.

* In North Towards Home, Willie Morris quotes Sir Thomas Browne's Urn Burial from memory as he walks up Park Avenue with William Styron: "' And since death must be the Lucina of life, and even Pagans could doubt, whether thus to live were to die ; since our longest sun sets at right descensions, and makes but winter arches, and therefore it cannot be long before we lie down in darkness and have our light in ashes …' At that instant I was almost clipped by a taxicab, and the driver stuck his head out and yelled, ' Aincha got eyes in that head, ya bum?

The driver ( not a " jockey ", as in thoroughbred racing ) carries a light whip chiefly used to signal the horse by tapping and to make noise by striking the sulky shaft.

Advantages of electrostatic loudspeakers include levels of distortion one to two orders of magnitude lower than conventional cone drivers in a box, the extremely light weight of the diaphragm which is driven across its whole surface, and exemplary frequency response ( both in amplitude and phase ) because the principle of generating force and pressure is almost free from resonances unlike the more common electrodynamic driver.

This way they become much more visible in the dark for observers near a light source, such as the driver of a car with its headlights on.

* February 21 – 14 hours and 2 minutes after taking off from New York, Air France pilot Patrick Fourticq and his companion, race driver Henry Pescarolo, land their Piper Malibu in Paris, setting a world record for a trans-Atlantic flight by a single engined light aircraft.

Despite their innovation of putting the engine behind the driver, the Coopers and their Chief Designer Owen Maddock were generally resistant to developing their cars.

The default state of the clutch is engaged-that is the connection between engine and gearbox is always " on " unless the driver presses the pedal and disengages it.

Rudolph Gore-Slimey ), has stolen his design for a race car engine and has become a world champion Formula One driver.

This means that a driver can be ordered " by an authorised person ... upon production of evidence of his authorisation, require him to stop the running of the engine of that vehicle " and a " person who fails to comply ... shall be guilty of an offence and be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale ".

One day, the trio discover that one of Theodore's former assistants, Rudolph Gore-Slimey (), has stolen his design for a race car engine, and has become a world champion Formula One driver.

At that time, almost all racing cars had their engines mounted at the front but Coopers were different, having the engine placed behind the driver, which improved their handling.

* That the basic layout would continue with the original's front-midship rear-drive configuration with the engine positioned ahead of the driver but behind the front axle for 50: 50 weight distribution.

It placed the driver above the front wheels, sitting behind a flat nose, with the engine mounted at the rear.

In modern cars the engine is often located directly behind the driver, and drives the rear wheels.

Conversely, " conventional " cab tractors offer the driver a more comfortable driving environment and better protection in a collision as well as eliminating the need to empty the driver's personal effects from the tractor whenever the engine requires service.

A large number of transmission ratios means the driver can operate the engine more efficiently.

Modern on-highway diesel engines are designed to provide maximum torque in a narrow RPM range ( usually 1200-1500 RPM ); having more gear ratios means the driver can hold the engine in its optimum range regardless of road speed ( drive axle ratio is also a critical factor ).

* " Cab over engine " ( COE ) or " flat nose "; where the driver is seated above the front axle and the engine.

The driver is seated behind the engine, as in most passenger cars or pickup trucks.

Double-clutching allows the driver to control the engine and transmission revolutions to synchronize, so that a smooth shift can be made ; for example, when upshifting, the accelerator pedal is released and the clutch pedal is depressed while the gear lever is moved into neutral, the clutch pedal is then released and quickly pushed down again while the gear lever is moved to the next higher gear.

A spacecraft could carry a mass driver as its primary engine.

The new engine was underpowered and driver Pierluigi Martini finished only two races, although he was also classified 11th at the German Grand Prix despite stopping with engine problems.

If the driver is far away, he will increase his engine speed to close the gap.

They leave, and she returns standing atop a hansom with no driver, followed by a fire engine.

A KF1 kart, with a 125 cc 2-stroke engine and an overall weight including the driver of 150 kilograms has a top speed of.

Sandrails, as with the VW Bug, often have the engine located behind the driver.
