Intake stroke: The first stroke of the internal combustion engine is also known as the suction stroke because the piston moves to the maximum volume position ( downward direction in the cylinder ).

The height of the column was then limited to the maximum weight that atmospheric pressure could support ; this is the limiting height of a suction pump, and the same as the maximum height of a siphon, which operates by the same principle.

Under normal conditions of atmospheric pressure suction can draw pure water up to a maximum height of approximately 10. 3 m ( 33. 9 feet ).

Siphons were studied further in the 17th century, in the context of suction pumps ( and the recently developed vacuum pumps ), particularly with an eye to understanding the maximum height of pumps ( and siphons ) and the apparent vacuum at the top of early barometers.

This equals the maximum height of a suction pump, which operates by the same principle.

In 1870 its maximum area was 28, 000 square kilometers.

At a time of world food shortages, it was vital that farmers produced the maximum amount possible.

The first highly ( or tightly ) pipelined x86 implementations, the 486 designs from Intel, AMD, Cyrix, and IBM, supported every instruction that their predecessors did, but achieved maximum efficiency only on a fairly simple x86 subset that was only a little more than a typical RISC instruction set ( i. e. without typical RISC load-store limitations ).

This range may indicate a maximum Italian homeland where the language was at one time spoken.

The warmest month on record at St Angelo was August 1995 with a mean temperature of ( mean maximum, mean minimum, while the coldest month was December 2010, with a mean temperature of ( mean maximum, mean minimum.

Tucker had chosen Loch Ness as the test site for a prototype sonar transducer with a maximum range of.

The results of the test are printed in the form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including the minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and sometimes the standard deviation of the mean.

This kind of test is done to determine the system's robustness in terms of extreme load and helps application administrators to determine if the system will perform sufficiently if the current load goes well above the expected maximum.

If there can also be a statement of what constitutes the maximum allowable 95 percentile response time, then an injector configuration could be used to test whether the proposed system met that specification.

Each movement in the test is scored on a scale from 0 to 10, with a score of " 10 " being the highest possible mark and with the total maximum score for the test varying depending on the level of competition and the number of movements.

To elicit these changes, an exercise ECG test (" treadmill test ") may be performed, during which the patient exercises to their maximum ability before fatigue, breathlessness or, importantly, pain intervenes ; if characteristic ECG changes are documented ( typically more than 1 mm of flat or downsloping ST depression ), the test is considered diagnostic for angina.

To determine whether a point is a minimum or maximum, one may be able to use the second derivative test.

Early in 1912, Dalén was blinded in an acetylene explosion during a test of maximum pressure for the accumulators.

Data obtained from this test, and others culminated in the eventual deployment of the highest yielding US nuclear weapon known, and as a side, the highest Yield-to-weight weapon ever made a three-stage thermonuclear weapon, with a maximum ' dirty ' yield of 25-megatons designated as the B41 nuclear bomb, which was to be carried by U. S. Air Force bombers until it was decommissioned ; this weapon was never fully tested.

The new M41 Special cartridge used a 130-grain FMJ bullet loaded to a maximum allowable pressure of 16, 000 psi for a velocity of approximately in a solid test barrel, and about from a revolver barrel.

* Each test element is assigned a maximum score.

The 2D core achieved near-theoretical maximum performance with a null driver test in Windows NT.

Chip manufacturers publish a " maximum clock rate " specification, and they test chips before selling them to make sure they meet that specification, even when executing the most complicated instructions with the data patterns that take the longest to settle ( testing at the temperature and voltage that runs the lowest performance ).

On October 30, 2005, a day after a test run passed the planned top service speed of, the targeted maximum test speed of was achieved.

The proofreading test will often have a maximum number of errors per quantity of text and a minimum amount of time to find them.

However, it is not widely used in building industrial test and measurement systems for a number of reasons ; for example, USB cables are not industrial grade, are noise sensitive, can accidentally become detached, and the maximum distance between the controller and the device is 30 m. Like RS-232, USB is useful for applications in a laboratory setting that do not require a rugged bus connection.

Each crash test is very expensive so the maximum amount of data must be extracted from each test.
