While it is true that three power strokes typically occur per rotor revolution due to the 3: 1 revolution ratio of the rotor to the eccentric shaft, only one power stroke per shaft revolution actually occurs ; this engine provides three power ' strokes ' per revolution per rotor giving it a greater power-to-weight ratio than piston engines.

While on the surface it appears the broker represents the buyer ( not the insurance company ), and typically counsels the buyer on appropriate coverage and policy limitations, in the vast majority of cases a broker's compensation comes in the form of a commission as a percentage of the insurance premium, creating a conflict of interest in that the broker's financial interest is tilted towards encouraging an insured to purchase more insurance than might be necessary at a higher price.

While preservation in situ is not assured, material that has survived underwater and is then recovered to land is typically in an unstable state and can only be preserved using highly specialised conservation processes.

While not fundamental to circuit operation, diodes connected in series with the base or emitter of the transistors are required to prevent the base-emitter junction being driven into reverse breakdown when the supply voltage is in excess of the V < sub > eb </ sub > breakdown voltage, typically around 5-10 volts for general purpose silicon transistors.

While this rivalry is typically given less significance than rivalries with the Eagles and Cowboys rivalries, there have been periods of great competition between the two.

While typical chemical reactions release energies on the order of a few eVs ( e. g. the binding energy of the electron to hydrogen is 13. 6 eV ), nuclear fission reactions typically release energies on the order of hundreds of millions of eVs.

While many standard cases of universals are also typically regarded as abstract objects ( such as humanity ), abstract objects are not necessarily universals.

While billing is sometimes done using a flat per-game rate ( when the length of the game is known and finite ), games more typically use a per-turn cost schedule.

While the terms may differ from industry to industry, the actual stages typically follow common steps to problem solving —" defining the problem, weighing options, choosing a path, implementation and evaluation.

While most elements are generally viewed as stable, a small amount of natural transformation of one element to another also occurs in the present time, through decay of radioactive elements as well as other natural nuclear processes.

While diffraction occurs whenever propagating waves encounter such changes, its effects are generally most pronounced for waves where the wavelength is roughly similar to the dimensions of the diffracting objects.

While osteoporosis occurs in people from all ethnic groups, European or Asian ancestry predisposes for osteoporosis.

While the earliest extra-biblical directions for baptism, which occurs in the Didache ( c. 100 ), speaks to the baptism of adults, rather than young children, since it requires that the person to be baptised should fast, writings of the 2nd and early 3rd century indicate that some Christians baptized infants too.

While some evolutionary biologists claim that speciation events have remained relatively constant over time, some palaeontologists such as Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould have argued that species usually remain unchanged over long stretches of time, and that speciation occurs only over relatively brief intervals, a view known as punctuated equilibrium.
