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.

The triple valve is described as being so named as it performs three functions: Charging air into an air tank ready to be used, applying the brakes, and releasing them.

* 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.

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.

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.

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.
