Just before hitting the water, a landing bag inflated from behind the heat shield to reduce the force of impact.

Dry-ground phlogopite mica is used in automotive brake linings and clutch plates to reduce noise and vibration ( asbestos substitute ); as sound-absorbing insulation for coatings and polymer systems ; in reinforcing additives for polymers to increase strength and stiffness and to improve stability to heat,

# Heat regulation: increase perfusion and heatloss, while constricted vessels greatly reduce cutaneous blood flow and conserve heat.

When the food is scarce, as in winter, heat production is lowered in order to reduce energy expenditure.

It is often covered by insulating plastic plates which further reduce heat transference. Explanation: if you hold the frame long enough so that it heats up by 10 ° C, then the increase in length of any 10 cm linear piece of steel is of magnitude 1 / 100 mm.

* Biofilms in cooling-or heating-water systems are known to reduce heat transfer.

Bathing or sponging with lukewarm or cool water can effectively reduce body temperature in those with heat illness but not usually fever.

This will not only reduce the ultimate temperature on the glass, it will slow down the rate of heat exchange and encourage more even heating ; as there is no longer direct contact via a few points with the plate.

Their stout shape, which minimizes surface area, may be an adaptation to reduce heat loss.

Therefore, insulated glazing units consist of two or more panes to reduce the transfer of heat.

Near the equator, the shorter days and the greater heat of the sun sharply reduce the sugar content in the beet.

Increasing the heat under pressure cookers designed for pressures below 15 psi will not make the food cook faster ; it will only waste energy, possibly spoil food, increase the risk of boiling dry, and reduce the life of the gasket and other rubber parts.

# Ischnoceran lice may reduce the thermoregulation effect of the plumage, thus heavily infected birds lose more heat than other ones.

Materials which make up the brake shoe include, friction modifiers ( which can include can include graphite and cashew nut shells ), powdered metal such as lead, zinc, brass, aluminium and other metals that resist heat fade, binders, curing agents and fillers such as rubber chips to reduce brake noise.

Marine mammals are adept at thermoregulation using dense fur or blubber to reduce heat loss ; as well as circulatory adjustments to conserve their body temperature ( counter-current heat exchangers ); torpedo shaped bodies, reduced appendages, and large size to prevent heat loss.

* Fixed or movable shades, which can reduce night-time heat losses.

Some passive systems use a small amount of conventional energy to control dampers, shutters, night insulation, and other devices that enhance solar energy collection, storage, and use, and reduce undesirable heat transfer.

Measures should be taken to reduce heat loss at night e. g. window coverings or movable window insulation

The slippage of the drive belts caused the aerator to slow down and reduce oxygen transfer as well as the mixing of the raw sewage.

The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, usually known simply as the Basel Convention, is an international treaty that was designed to reduce the movements of hazardous waste between nations, and specifically to prevent transfer of hazardous waste from developed to less developed countries ( LDCs ).

The benefits of the archive file are to lower the number of files for easier transfer, to reduce storage usage, or just to organize outdated files.

* Power transfer into a linear balanced load is constant, which helps to reduce generator and motor vibrations.

However, the transfer of knowledge may reduce its scarcity-value to its original possessor.

For example, while screwtops are generally considered to offer a trichloroanisole ( TCA ) free seal they reduce the oxygen transfer rate to almost zero, which can lead to reductive qualities in the wine.

If the temperature is correct, and a room is unoccupied, the drapes can automatically close to reduce heat transfer in either direction.

Some of the owners of Binter Canarias decided to buy Navegacion y Servicios Aéreos Canarios ( NAYSA ) and to transfer some planes from Binter to NAYSA in order to reduce costs and increase benefits.

This is a massive timber frame supporting the transfer gearing and heavy mill stones casings, helping to reduce the vibration of the turning mill stones and their wheels ( stone nuts ).

In some cases this may reduce the heat transfer efficiency ( when using an inert gas as a coolant ) and in others may form an insulating " bubble " of steam surrounding the fuel assemblies ( for pressurized water reactors ).

Data file compression is employed in order to reduce bandwidth, file transfer time, and / or storage requirements.

In the vacuum of space, satellites use multi-layer insulation, which consists of many layers of aluminized ( shiny ) Mylar to greatly reduce radiation heat transfer and control satellite temperature.

Such surfaces can be used to reduce heat transfer in both directions ; an example of this is the multi-layer insulation used to insulate spacecraft.

A typical design is a stack of fine metal wire meshes, with low porosity to reduce dead space, and with the wire axes perpendicular to the gas flow to reduce conduction in that direction and to maximize convective heat transfer.

To reduce the number of pins in a package, many ICs use a serial bus to transfer data when speed is not important.

Upon touchdown, spoilers ( sometimes called " lift dumpers ") are deployed to dramatically reduce the lift and transfer the aircraft's weight to its wheels, where mechanical braking, such as an autobrake system, can take effect.

Soft mounting fans ( e. g. with rubber or silicone fan isolators ) can help reduce transfer of fan vibrations to other components.

Electric griddle plates are typically thinner, from thick, to reduce the response lag between the control and plate surface common in such designs ( less material reduces heat transfer time ).

These are included to reduce or eliminate the transfer of bending stresses between structural components, typically in an effort to reduce sensitivity to earthquakes.
