The type of resonator guitar with a neck with a square cross-section — called " square neck " or " Hawaiian "— is usually played face up, on the lap of the seated player, and often with a metal or glass slide.

The faceting machine is used to hold the stone onto a flat lap for cutting and polishing the flat facets.

If the sowing action stops after dropping the last seed, the game is considered a single lap game.

In training for that race, the late Stefan Bellof set the all-time lap record for the Nordschleife in his Porsche 956, which is still unbeaten at 6: 11. 13, or over on average ( partially because no major racing has taken place there since 1984 ).

A quilting frame or hoop is often used to assist in holding the piece being quilted off the quilter's lap.

* With the guitar held horizontally, with the belly uppermost and the bass strings toward the player, and using a slide called a " steel " held in the left hand ; this is known as " lap steel guitar ".

Double slide is meant to be played on a six-string lap guitar ( or a regular six-string guitar modified with the strings raised for high action like a lap guitar ), usually tuned to open E tuning.

Thus, the lap steel guitar is sometimes known as the Hawaiian guitar, particularly in documents from the early 20th century, and today any steel guitar is frequently called a Hawaiian steel guitar.

In addition to the sprints, any riders managing to lap the main field is awarded an extra 20 points.

This is therefore a popular way of gaining the points required to win the race and leads to many such attempts to gain a lap during the race.

Although it is a difficult feat to gain the lap on your own, it is not uncommon for the top riders to be able to do this in order to win the race.

The snowball is a variation on the points race where every lap, only the first place finisher in the sprint is awarded any points.

The point-a-lap is, as its name would imply, a variation on the points race where a single point is awarded to the first rider to finish each lap.

The tempo race is similar to the point-a-lap race except that points are awarded two deep for each lap ( two points for the first rider, one point for the second ).

When they complete a lap they swipe or touch the receiver which is connected to a computer and log their lap time.

The lagoon is now landlocked but used to be connected to the inlet, resulting in significant tidal changes along its shores, and at its western end at high tide waves would lap across what is now the Ceperley Park area at Second Beach, which was then just a sandbar.

It consists of a series of straps, attached to the helmet and connected across the chest and at the waist, depending on the lap belt for anchoring.

A lap (" 2-point ") belt in an airplane

A lap belt is a strap that goes over the waist.

Evidence of the potential of lap belts to cause separation of the lumbar vertebrae and the sometimes associated paralysis, or " seat belt syndrome ", led to progressive revision of passenger safety regulations in nearly all developed countries to require 3-point belts first in all outboard seating positions and eventually in all seating positions in passenger vehicles.

Since September 1, 2007, all new cars sold in the U. S. require a lap and shoulder belt in the center rear seat.

The shoulder harness may attach to the lap belt tongue, or it may have a tongue and buckle completely separate from those of the lap belt.

Shoulder harnesses of this separate or semi-separate type were installed in conjunction with lap belts in the outboard front seating positions of many vehicles in the North American market starting at the inception of the shoulder belt requirement of the U. S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 on 1 January 1968.

However, if the shoulder strap is used without the lap belt, the vehicle occupant is likely to " submarine ", or slide forward in the seat and out from under the belt, in a frontal collision.

In the mid-1970s, 3-point belt systems such as Chrysler's " Uni-Belt " began to supplant the separate lap and shoulder belts in American-made cars, though such 3-point belts had already been supplied in European vehicles such as Volvos, Mercedes, and Saabs for some years.

A 3-point belt is a Y-shaped arrangement, similar to the separate lap and sash belts, but unitized.

An alternative approach being looked at by major car companies is the CG-Lock technology whereby the occupant is held in position via the lap belt in order to prevent the passenger from coming out of position in the event of a crash.

* Manual lap belt with automatic motorized shoulder belt — When the door is opened, the shoulder belt moves from a fixed point near the seat back on a track mounted in the door frame of the car to a point at the other end of the track near the windshield.

The lap belt must be fastened manually.

* Manual lap belt with automatic non-motorized shoulder belt — This system was used in American-market vehicles such as the Hyundai Excel and Volkswagen Jetta.

The lap belt must be fastened manually.

Motorists who would normally wear seat belts must still fasten the manual lap belt, thus rendering redundant the automation of the shoulder belt.

Those who do not fasten the lap belt wind up inadequately protected by only the shoulder belt ; in a crash without a lap belt such a vehicle occupant is likely to " submarine " ( be thrown forward under the shoulder belt ) and be seriously injured.
