Variable load welders have been developed to automatically compensate for changes in the tool displacement while TWI have demonstrated a roller system that maintains the tool position above the weld plate.

Universal and Variable or Variable Universal policies typically have immediate accumulation in the sub-account, but these funds are not available for loans and are often subject to a surrender charges for the first several years of the program ( in the case of plans paying a premium close to the minimum, this is frequently in excess of the accumulation ).

Some engines have Variable Valve Timing.

* Variable page boundaries, more efficient and flexible than the paged memory model

The Variable Turbine Geometry incorporates guide vanes on the turbine wheel that change their angle of attack with exhaust speed, reducing boost lag at low speeds while opening up to prevent excessive back pressure at high RPMs.

Variable stars are designated using a variation on the Bayer designation format of an identifying label ( as described below ) combined with the Latin genitive of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.

Sternberg publishes the General Catalog of Variable Stars ( GCVS ), which is periodically ( approximately once every two years ) amended by the publication of a new " Name-List " of variable stars.

z / OS introduced Variable Workload License Charges ( VWLC ) and Entry Workload License Charges ( EWLC ) which are sub-capacity billing options.

Variable salinity in water and variable water content in air masses are frequent causes of convection in the oceans and atmosphere which do not involve heat, or else involve additional compositional density factors other than the density changes from thermal expansion ( see thermohaline circulation ).

An interesting variation was Ford's VV ( Variable Venturi ) carburetor, which was essentially a fixed venturi carburetor with one side of the venturi hinged and movable to give a narrow throat at low rpm and a wider throat at high rpm.
