As well as a lightweight chassis and bodywork, Caterham Sevens achieve their very low mass through their lack of comfort and safety oriented features such as a fixed roof, doors, radio, air-conditioning, airbags, traction / stability control, ABS, satellite navigation or cruise control.

Care needed to be taken, though, in opening the doors with a low roof overhead.

One of the main village buildings, the sweat lodge was low into the ground, its walls made of earth and roof of earth and brush.

Among the few other changes were new paint colors, the addition of circular porthole windows as standard in the fiberglass roof to improve rearward visibility, and a Y-block V8 making when mated to a 3-speed manual transmission or when mated to a Ford-O-Matic 2-speed automatic transmission ; this transmission featured a " low gear ", which was accessible only via the gear selector.

The find combined a low, ape-like skull roof with a brain estimated at around 1000 cc, midway between that of a chimpanzee and an adult man.

In addition, the building is LEED gold certified, hosting a green roof, solar panels, in-floor radiant heating, daylight and occupancy sensors, low flush toilets, LED lights and a living green wall.

The stadium was also engineered along sustainable lines for example with the low use of steel in the roof structure in comparison to the Olympic stadiums of Athens and Beijing.

Seeing De Caus ' completed wing standing alone as an entirety, it was considered too plain — De Caus ' original plan was for the huge facade to have a low pitched roof, with wings finishing with no architectural symbols of termination.

The roof is sometimes closed however in dry weather when the temperature is particularly low.

Because of the shape of the vehicle and the flat roof that continued to the rear of the vehicle, opening the rear hatch had some drawbacks in low clearance environments.

Despite his corporate successes, Platt was not considered media-savvy due his thick glasses and hulking frame and generally kept a low profile, although he did agree to sit atop of a bunch of crates on the roof of an HP building for a BusinessWeek cover story in 1995.

Eythrope was something of a deviation from his usual style, it is a mixture of his usual Jacobean coupled with French renaissance in a low style of Waddesdon, especially noticeable on the concave roof to the round tower, and the gable on the garden facade which are particularly reminiscent of Waddesdon.

This, plus the habit of many schools of simply adding interior design to the many subjects of their home economics department, yet, nevertheless, claiming that they teach interior design, has contributed to the low repute of many university courses in interior design.

The use of high voltages and low currents by proper design to reduce electron heat transfer to the anode for a given power output.

At low speeds, the compressibility of air is not significant in relation to aircraft design, but as the airflow nears and exceeds the speed of sound, a host of new aerodynamic effects become important in the design of aircraft.

This often happens when a change in design or operating practice, such as the switch to one person operation or low floor technology, renders some buses redundant while still relatively new.

The design, coupled with low or dropped handlebars, requires the rider to bend forward more, utilizing stronger muscles ( particularly the gluteus maximus ) and reducing air resistance at high speed.

This design gives additional gas volume, and thereby increased chance of particle interaction, but allows low energy photons to enter the gas through the thin wall.

The Jupiter ACE is often compared with ZX81 due to its similar size, low cost, and similar form factor, although internally it is an independent design.

PLC applications are typically highly customized systems, so the cost of a packaged PLC is low compared to the cost of a specific custom-built controller design.

Intel could spend many times as much as any RISC manufacturer on improving low level design and manufacturing.

The benefits of cage armor are still considered great in modern battlefields in the Middle East, and although similar effects can be obtained using spaced armor, either as a part of the original design or as appliqué armor fitted later, cage armor is preferable due to its low weight and ease of repair.

At the time of their design, their 33 % bandwidth reduction for a very low complexity made them an excellent engineering compromise.

The low density of hydrogen further affects the design of the rest of the vehicle — pumps and pipework need to be much larger in order to pump the fuel to the engine.

In Tesla's time, the efficiency of conventional turbines was low because the aerodynamic theory needed for effective blade design did not exist and the low quality of materials available to construct those blades put severe limitations on operating speeds and temperatures.

* Timing / design closure – As clock frequencies tend to scale up, designers are finding it more difficult to distribute and maintain low clock skew between these high frequency clocks across the entire chip.

While this approach does increase the complexity of the eccentric shaft design, it has been used successfully in the Mazda's production three-rotor 20B-REW engine, as well as many low volume production race engines.

In addition to its function in cost accounting, the WBS also helps map requirements from one level of system specification to another, for example a requirements cross reference matrix mapping functional requirements to high level or low level design documents.

The hallmarks of the traditional design are simplicity, very low cost and do-it-yourself construction, leading to its historical association with lower economic classes.
