However, they start floating as icebergs when their size is small enough to drift to the sea.

They can remain floating in the water and drift over long distances.

In the novel, the device comprises of floating cages used for travelling that drift away from our reality after arrival in the past ( meaning they get invisible and cannot be seen ).

He once had a corporeal human form, but now appears as a floating head in an energy tube.

The successor machine was the UNIVAC 1103A or Univac Scientific, which improved upon the design by replacing the unreliable Williams tube memory with magnetic core memory, adding hardware floating point instructions, and a hardware interrupt feature.

The 1103A was contemporary and competitor to the IBM 704, which also employed vacuum tube logic, magnetic core memory, and hardware floating point.

The film is loaded, solution added, tube closed, and the tube is spun, by hand, floating in a water bath.

Other innovative designs included his floating Pastil Chair ( similar to a solid inner tube ), and Tomato Chair ( more stable with a seat between three spheres ).

One type is a tube with a floating piston.

It was the successor to the Ferranti Mark 1, adding a floating point unit for improved performance, and increased reliability by replacing the Williams tube memory with core memory and using more solid state components.

One of the big advantages of using a shell and tube heat exchanger is that they are often easy to service, particularly with models where a floating tube bundle ( where the tube plates are not welded to the outer shell ) is available.

The Dead Sea seawater has a density of 1. 240 kg / L, which makes swimming similar to floating.

Because a nation's exchange rate has a big impact on its ' balance of trade ' and its ' balance of payments ' many economists favour freely floating exchange rates over the older, fixed ( or pegged ) rates of foreign currency exchange.

A mandolin typically has a hollow wooden body with a tailpiece that holds one end of the strings, a floating bridge, a neck with a flat ( or slight radius ) fretted fingerboard, a nut, and mechanical tuning machines to accommodate metal strings.

The most unique aspect of the system is its multicore processing node which integrates six MIPS64 cores, a crossbar memory controller, interconnect DMA engine, Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express controllers all on a single chip which consumes only 10 watts of power, yet has a peak floating point performance of 6 GFLOPs.

It also has an on-chip MMU ( memory management unit ) but does not have a built in FPU ( floating point unit ).

A good-looking woman, whether a four-armed quaddie, a Cetagandan haut-lady glimpsed in her floating bubble, or a Barrayaran damsel, has skin comparable to ivory or milk.

( The word " arithmetic " is used by the general public to mean " elementary calculations "; it has also acquired other meanings in mathematical logic, as in Peano arithmetic, and computer science, as in floating point arithmetic.

The quantity of small plastic fragments floating in the north-east Pacific Ocean has increased a hundredfold over the past 40 years ( 2012 ).

Marine debris, also known as marine litter, is a term used to describe human-created waste that has ended up floating in a lake, sea, ocean or waterway.

The earliest of these is Saint Carannog's mystical floating altar in that saint's 12th century Vita ; in the story Arthur has found the altar and attempts unsuccessfully to use it for a table, and returns it to Carannog in exchange for the saint ridding the land of a meddlesome dragon.

Sirenians have major aquatic adaptations: forelimbs have modified into arms used for steering, the tail has modified into a paddle used for propulsion, and the hind limbs ( legs ) are but two small remnant bones floating deep in the muscle.

The fourth season episode " Observer Effect " revealed that Sato was once dishonorably discharged from Starfleet for running a floating poker game and breaking the arm of a Starfleet instructor who tried to break it up ( she has a black belt in aikido ).

Free floating turbochargers produce more horsepower, because it has less backpressure, but is not driveable in performance applications without an external wastegate.

In SPARC Version 8, the floating point register file has 16 double precision registers.

Because an idle floating duck or a duck squatting on land cannot react to fly or move quickly, " a sitting duck " has come to mean " an easy target ".

When the non inverting input is higher than the inverting input, the output is ' floating ' ( has a very high impedance to ground ).

In the case of full reproducibility, such as when rounding a number to a representable floating point number, the word precision has a meaning not related to reproducibility.

The user interface has been redesigned in Windows Media Player 12 such that the Now Playing view plays media in a separate minimalist window with floating playback controls, and also gives access to the current playlist, visualizations, and enhancements.

However, fly fishing for smallmouth bass has become increasingly popular in recent years, and most fly fishermen seeking river or stream smallmouth use a 4-to 9-foot fly rod in a # 5, # 6, # 7, or # 8-weight size with a floating or sink-tip fly line, depending upon the water to be fished.

He has also founded the science of hydrostatics, including the principle of the upthrust on a floating body which has led to his cry, " Eureka ".
