Peugeot introduced a five valve per cylinder, triple overhead cam engine for the Grand Prix, conceived by Marcel Gremillon ( who had criticised the early DOHC ); but the engine was a failure.

In order to design a system without the shortcomings of the straight air system, Westinghouse invented a system wherein each piece of railroad rolling stock was equipped with an air reservoir and a triple valve, also known as a control valve.

* If the pressure in the train line is higher than that of the reservoir, the triple valve connects the train line to the reservoir feed, causing the air pressure in the reservoir to increase.

The triple valve also causes the brake cylinder to be exhausted to the atmosphere, releasing the brakes.

* As the pressure in the train line and that of the reservoir equalize, the triple valve closes, causing the air pressure in the reservoir and brake cylinder to be maintained at the current level.

When the engineer ( driver ) applies the brake by operating the locomotive brake valve, the train line vents to atmosphere at a controlled rate, reducing the train line pressure and in turn triggering the triple valve on each car to feed air into its brake cylinder.

The triple valve is divided into two portions: the service portion, which contains the mechanism used during brake applications made during service reductions, and the emergency portion, which senses the immediate, rapid release of train line pressure.

Normal service applications transfer air pressure from the service portion to the brake cylinder, while emergency applications cause the triple valve to direct all air in both the service portion and the emergency portion of the dual-compartment reservoir to the brake cylinder, resulting in a 20 – 30 % stronger application.

The emergency portion of each triple valve is activated by the extremely rapid rate of reduction of train line pressure.

Therefore, as long as a sufficient volume of air can be rapidly vented from the brake pipe, each car's triple valve will cause an emergency brake application.

The modern air brake is not identical with the original airbrake as there have been slight changes in the design of the triple valve, which are not completely compatible between versions, and which must therefore be introduced in phases.

The E49 six pack engine came with a baffled sump, tuned length headers, special shot-peened crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, rings, cam, valve springs, a twin plate clutch and of course the triple 45 mm dual throat Weber carburetors.

The increased power is due mainly to a more aggressive camshaft, high-load valve springs, triple 45 mm DCOE Weber sidedraught carburetors, tuned-length exhaust headers and a higher compression ratio of 10. 0: 1.

The valve best suited for high-pressure systems is the triple offset butterfly valve, which makes use of a metal seat, and is therefore able to withstand a greater amount of pressure.

Putting on local musicians at this place in the program serves a triple purpose: it saves the top flight jazz men from being wasted in this unenviable spot, when the audience is cold, restless, and in flux ; ;

From a geostructural perspective the Azores is located above an active triple junction between three of the world's large tectonic plates ( the North American Plate, the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate ), a condition that has translated into the existence of many faults and fractures in this region of the Atlantic.

Beethoven wrote this piece in triple time, but it is punctuated in a way that, when coupled with the speed of the metre, makes it sound as though it is in quadruple time.

The hit is scored the moment the batter reaches first base safely-if the runner is put out while attempting a double or triple on the same play, he still gets credit for the hit.

A hit for one base is called a single, for two bases a double, and for three bases a triple.

A binary relation R is usually defined as an ordered triple ( X, Y, G ) where X and Y are arbitrary sets ( or classes ), and G is a subset of the Cartesian product X × Y.

A relation as defined by the triple ( X, Y, G ) is sometimes referred to as a correspondence instead.

Likewise, the boiling point decreases with decreasing pressure until the triple point is reached.

He is the only batsman to have ever scored a hundred, a double century, a triple century, a quadruple century and a quintuple century in first class games over the course of a senior career.

The spirit is triple distilled using a carterhead still, and the alcohol vapours are passed through a mesh / basket containing the ten botanicals, in order to gain flavour and aroma.

There is no consensus on some terms describing carbon nanotubes in scientific literature: both "- wall " and "- walled " are being used in combination with " single ", " double ", " triple " or " multi ", and the letter C is often omitted in the abbreviation ; for example, multi-walled carbon nanotube ( MWNT ).

In this way the particularly strong triple bond in nitrogen is weakened and the hydrogen and nitrogen atoms combine faster than would be the case in the gas phase, so the rate of reaction increases.

A triple bond is handled the same way except that A and B each carry two ghost atoms instead of one.

Collagen is a composed of a triple helix, which generally consists of two identical chains ( α1 ) and an additional chain that differs slightly in its chemical composition ( α2 ).

The counterpart of elimination is the addition where double or triple bonds are converted into single bonds.

Alpha Crucis, called Acrux, is a triple star 321 light-years from Earth.

The mixup occurred due what was described as a " triple witching hour " of events: a labor strike with management's replacing regular workers ; a shortage of bags that helped distinguish between cattle feed additive and the flame-retardant PBB ; and storing both the cattle feed and the fire retardant in the same dimly lit warehouse.

However, the main Continental Divide described in this article is a far more distinctive geological feature than the others and its two main triple points are much more prominent.

Snow White's triple seeming-death and resurrection, beyond an amusement or wish-fulfilling temporary escape, fulfills the initiatory process of life, as Mircea Eliade described it: " What is called ' initiation ' coexists with the human condition, reaffirms the ultimate religious significance of life and the real possibility of a ' happy ending.

The story centres on the widely made claim that, when numerised ( i. e., when those letters in the ' title ' that have roman numeral value are added together ), they produce the number 666, described in the Book of Revelation as the number of the Beast ( the Antichrist ) which wears multiple crowns identified by some as the triple tiara ).

Under the scenario described above, the same fielder ( the shortstop, for example ) could be credited with all three putouts, thus attaining an unassisted triple play without having touched the ball.

MMPs were described initially by Jerome Gross and Charles Lapiere ( 1962 ), who observed enzymatic activity ( collagen triple helix degradation ) during tadpole tail metamorphosis ( by placing a tadpole tail in a collagen matrix plate ).
