* The British Empire of The Peshawar Lancers by S. M. Stirling features a massive water powered engine at Oxford, used by two of the main characters.

The AAM-N-6a was similar to the-6, but used a new Thiokol liquid-fuel rocket engine for improved performance.

* A signal from an engine order telegraph, a communications device used on a ship or submarine

Incandescent and xenon light sources require the vehicle ’ s engine to continue running to ensure that the battery is not depleted when the lights are used for a prolonged period.

Brabham used engines from Australian engineering firm Repco, which had never produced a Formula One engine before, based on aluminium V8 engine blocks from the defunct American Oldsmobile F85 road car project, and other off the shelf parts.

Plotters have been used in applications such as computer-aided design, though they are rarely used now and are being replaced with wide-format conventional printers, which nowadays have sufficient resolution to render high-quality vector graphics using a rasterized print engine.

* ITA Software's low fare search engine, used by travel websites such as Orbitz and Kayak. com and airlines such as American Airlines, Continental Airlines and US Airways.

Such items include tiles used in the Space Shuttle program, gas burner nozzles, ballistic protection, nuclear fuel uranium oxide pellets, biomedical implants, coatings of jet engine turbine blades, ceramic disk brake, missile nose cones, bearing ( mechanical ).

Clutches are used whenever the transmission of power or motion needs to be controlled either in amount or over time ( e. g., electric screwdrivers limit how much torque is transmitted through use of a clutch ; clutches control whether automobiles transmit engine power to the wheels ).

A centrifugal clutch is used in some vehicles ( e. g., Mopeds ) and also in other applications where the speed of the engine defines the state of the clutch, for example, in a chainsaw.

Higher compression ratios will however make gasoline engines subject to engine knocking if lower octane-rated fuel is used, also known as detonation.

A technique used to prevent the onset of knock is the high " swirl " engine that forces the intake charge to adopt a very fast circular rotation in the cylinder during compression that provides quicker and more complete combustion.

The same basic engine block can be used with different crankshafts, however, to alter the firing order ; for instance, the 90 ° V6 engine configuration, in older days sometimes derived by using six cylinders of a V8 engine with what is basically a shortened version of the V8 crankshaft, produces an engine with an inherent pulsation in the power flow due to the " missing " two cylinders.

The first ( retroactively ) RISC-labeled processor ( IBM 801-IBMs Watson Research Center, mid-1970s ) was a tightly pipelined simple machine originally intended to be used as an internal microcode kernel, or engine, in CISC designs, but also became the processor that introduced the RISC idea to a somewhat larger public.

It relied on an engine based on the Bluebird and used Bluebird suspension components.

Likewise, small boats typically have two circuits each with their own battery / batteries: one used for engine starting ; one used for domestics.

Normally, both are charged from a single alternator, and a heavy-duty split-charge diode is used to prevent the higher-charge battery ( typically the engine battery ) from discharging through the lower-charge battery when the alternator is not running.

Both logarithmic and trigonometric functions, functions commonly used by both navigators and scientists, can be approximated by polynomials, so a difference engine can compute many useful sets of numbers.

In North America, Diesel engines are primarily used in large trucks, where the low-stress, high-efficiency cycle leads to much longer engine life and lower operational costs.

The simple mechanical strain of overweight, says New York's Dr. Norman Jolliffe, can overburden and damage the heart `` for much the same reason that a Chevrolet engine in a Cadillac body would wear out sooner than if it were in a body for which it was built ''.

At the same time, the third car moves to the engine assembly.

This is why a high compression engine requires fuels specially formulated to not self-ignite ( which would cause engine knocking when operated under these conditions of temperature and pressure ), or that a supercharger and intercooler to provide a lower temperature at the same pressure would be advantageous.

Approximately 8 minutes into the flight, one of the same temperature sensors in the right engine failed, and the remaining right engine temperature sensor displayed readings near the redline for engine shutdown.

* A running engine does not stop taking air & fuel into the cylinder when the piston reaches BDC ; The mixture that is rushing into the cylinder during the downstroke develops momentum and continues briefly after the vacuum ceases ( in the same respect that rapidly opening a door will create a draft that continues after movement of the door ceases ).

The same engine, however, can be made to provide evenly spaced power pulses by using a crankshaft with an individual crank throw for each cylinder, spaced so that the pistons are actually phased 120 ° apart, as in the GM 3800 engine.

If a petrol engine were to have the same compression ratio, then knocking ( self-ignition ) would occur and this would severely reduce the efficiency, whereas in a Diesel engine, the self ignition is the desired behavior.

The popularity of Doom led to the development of a sequel, Doom II: Hell on Earth ( 1994 ), as well as expansion packs and alternate versions based on the same game engine, including The Ultimate Doom ( 1995 ), Final Doom ( 1996 ), and Doom 64 ( 1997 ).

A turbocharged engine can produce significantly more power than a naturally aspirated engine of the same configuration, as having more air in the cylinders allows more fuel to be burned and thus more power to be produced.

This van used the same engine as the last F8 made before the war.

In late 2009, Bandai created a webpage in Japanese showing a new game to be released in 2010 called Digimon Story: Lost Evolution, which uses the same engine as their predecessors Digimon World DS and Digimon World Dawn and Dusk and was released on July 1, 2010.

The Bugatti Veyron 16. 4 operates with a W16 engine meaning that two V8 cylinder layouts are positioned next to each other to create the W shape sharing the same crankshaft.

Apart from the different energy source, the engine is often engineered much the same as an internal or external combustion engine.

Whether the rule base has 10 rules or 10 000, the engine operation is the same.

Initially it was conceived as a difference engine curved back upon itself, in a generally circular layout, with the long store exiting off to one side.

Engines can be classified in many different ways: By the engine cycle used, the layout of the engine, source of energy, the use of the engine, or by the cooling system employed.

The functionality of Words has largely been written from scratch – in May 2011 a completely new layout engine was announced.

Based on the same Gecko layout engine as Mozilla Firefox, K-Meleon uses native Windows application programming interface ( API ) to create the user interface, instead of using Mozilla's cross-platform XML User Interface Language ( XUL ) layer, and as a result, is tightly integrated into the look and feel of the Windows desktop ; this approach is similar to that of Galeon and Epiphany ( for the GNOME desktop ), and Camino ( for Mac OS X ).

* M4 layout, an automotive design that places the engine in the middle of the vehicle and drives all four wheels

In 2004, the Mozilla Foundation announced that it would be no longer maintaining the suite, in order to focus its attention on the standalone products Firefox and Thunderbird, which are built on the same Gecko layout engine.

It consists most notably of the Gecko layout engine, but also the XUL user-interface toolkit, the Necko networking library, and other components.

* That the basic layout would continue with the original's front-midship rear-drive configuration with the engine positioned ahead of the driver but behind the front axle for 50: 50 weight distribution.

The two hinged side doors were opposite to the driver's side, with optional doors on the driver's side, Fiat built a similar vehicle, Multipla based on the Fiat 600 with the same " cab over " engine and door layout.

Usually based on front-engined compact cars with a FMR layout, the engine was mounted behind or under the front seat with a flat, vertical nose.

After deciding that the mid-engine layout didn't allow enough room in the passenger compartment, a front engine / rear wheel drive layout was chosen.

** Engine configuration for a discussion of the layout of the major components of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine.

* Browsers based on the Gecko layout engine ( such as Firefox, Flock, Camino, and SeaMonkey ) all have had incomplete support for the SVG 1. 1 Full specification since 2005.

This type of cab is especially suited to the delivery conditions in Europe where many roads follow the layout of much more ancient path, and trackways which require the additional turning capability given by the short wheelbase of the cab over engine type.

Owing to its compact length, the V6 lends itself well to the widely-used transverse engine front-wheel drive layout.

In the horizontally opposed flat-6 layout, the rocking motions of the two straight cylinder banks offset each other, while in the inline-6 layout, the two ends of engine are mirror images of each other and compensate every rocking motion.

The 120 ° layout also produces an engine which is too wide for most automobile engine compartments, so it is more often used in racing cars where the car is designed around the engine rather than vice-versa, and vibration is not as important.

These boats have a regular inboard engine, but are turned 180 ° such that the transmission is in front of the engine, rather than behind, or " inline ", which is a more common layout for inboard tournament ski boats.
