Note the drum-tight skin, a consequence of the unique tensioning system devised by Hargrave.

Audi used a retractable steering wheel and seat belt tensioning system called procon-ten, but it has since been discontinued in favor of airbags and pyrotechnic seat belt pre-tensioners.

The top tensioning system also prevents the line from being pulled up and down by wave action, but instead there is a tensioning weight going up and down twice as much as the buoy, which can be hazardous when the divers are in the depth range of its motion.

The former anchor portal at Cannitello Switching Station is still in place but the tensioning system at Torre Faro has been dismantled.

The most difficult and widely discussed element of a slackline setup is the tensioning system.

They have developed a special slackline and simple tensioning system, allowing for practitioners to learn safely and experience the benefit of a wide range of dynamic energies while on the line.

* minor changes to the engine to improve reliability such as changes to the alternator and cam chain tensioning system

Each pin is individually sprung to a tensioning member which is driven outwardly in the slot.

A rigid overhead rail may also be used in places where tensioning the wires is impractical, for example on moveable bridges.

A rebar ( short for reinforcing bar ), also known as reinforcing steel, reinforcement steel, rerod, a deformed bar, reo, or reo bar, is a common steel bar, and is commonly used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures holding the concrete in compression.

In a fractional rig, tensioning the permanent backstay will have two effects: First, the forestay is tensioned ( controls sag in headsail ) and second, the mast bend is increased, particularly in the upper one-half to one-third of the mast.

The overall effect of tensioning the running backstay is a shallower mainsail ( less camber ) combined with a reduction in headsail sag.

This outside projection is of square section to permit a spanner ( wrench ) to be engaged for subsequent tensioning of the lock.

Top tensioning is achieved by running the line through a loop on the buoy and hanging a small weight on the end.

* use a " top tensioning " arrangement: the line runs freely through a ring on the buoy and is weighted at the top end by a small weight

* use a " bottom tensioning " arrangement: the line runs freely through a ring on the weight and is lifted at the bottom end by a small, rigid buoy.

It is also not always necessary to use this method of hauling for the whole of a task ; often, the first part of the job can be achieved with simple hand-over-hand pulling, switching over to a coordinated heave for the final tensioning.

A turnbuckle, stretching screw or bottlescrew is a device for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems.

The proper tensioning of a cable is important and allows the ability to tune the ride of a zip line.

Benching is the leveling and tensioning of the saw.

* leveling is done mostly with hammer and anvil, although stretcher-roller machines are used for tensioning.

The brake is actuated by either tensioning the line upon which it rides or by using a second line to adjust the brake itself.

Although this is sometimes done with Vee belts with a single idler pulley for tensioning, a polygroove belt may be wrapped around a pulley on its back tightly enough to change its direction, or even to provide a light driving force.

The bridge is held in place by a lattice-work of suspension and tensioning cables and sits over the waters of the Don and below the railway arches of the old Victoria Station, now long gone.

While earlier bridges of this type use chain eyebars, the long span needed here uses wire cable as do other modern suspension bridges, but uniquely, this is a single loop of cable rather than the usual pair of cables and, rather than being spun in place above the catwalks, substantial bundles of strands are dragged into place with temporary support above the catwalks, to be finally suspended by tensioning of the strand.

German systems usually use a single large tensioning pulley with a toothed rim, mounted on an arm hinged to the mast.

Such supplies include resistors and capacitors for RC-circuit frequency equalization, if necessary ; step-up transformers ; perforated metal sheets or grids and insulating plastics for the stators ; polymer film and conductive paint ( e. g. a liquid graphite suspension ) for the membrane ; simple tensioning equipment for proper membrane tuning ; and a frame, usually of wood, to hold everything together.

* Highfield lever: A particular type of tensioning lever, usually for running backstays.

It may have traditional cotton rope lacing, screw-turnbuckle tensioning or both combined: in the first case steel rings are used for tuning or pegs a twisted inside the laces.

More recently, however, with the advent of high-strength and low-stretch synthetic fibres, some sailboats are using synthetic rope for standing rigging, and deadeyes and lanyards are coming back into use as tensioning devices.

In recent decades, as steel wire became the prevalent material for sailboat rigging, deadeyes and laynards gave way to metal turnbuckles for tensioning the wires.

The tensioning members have a common drive so that the application of restorative force takes place simultaneously in all directions in the plane of the test specimen.

On bicycles that do not have a derailleur or other chain tensioning device, rear horizontal dropouts allow adjustment of chain tension, and can accommodate a range of chain lengths or cog sizes.

* Rebar, a common steel bar commonly used as a tensioning device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures

Turnbuckles are used for tensioning a ship's rigging and lashings.

Some peasant knives used a bolster or tensioning screw at the blade to apply friction to the blade tang in order to keep the blade in the open position.

* Spoke wrenches are used for tensioning the spokes of a wheel.

A cable tie tensioning device or tool may be used to apply a cable tie with a specific degree of tension.

A prusik with a prusik minding pulley is used to hold a load while tensioning a line.

When blocks came into common use for adjusting running rigging, deadeyes continued to be used for tensioning standing rigging.

While the most modern of house structures ( well tied to monolithic concrete foundation slabs reinforced with post tensioning cables ) may survive such movement largely intact, the building will no longer be in its proper location.
