There are three species or types of property: Land, Improvements to Land ( immovable man made things ), and Personal ( movable man made things ).

Improvements in hardware have allowed them to be replaced with outline or stroke fonts in cases where arbitrary scaling is desirable, but bitmap fonts are still in common use in embedded systems and other places where speed and simplicity are considered important.

Improvements in the 1930s created channels with vertical concrete sides, and little thought for habitat.

Improvements in hardware and system design can be used to significantly reduce the risks of any encryption system being compromised, but many systems once thought secure have been proven vulnerable to sufficiently sophisticated and malicious attackers.

Improvements since then have largely been better phosphors, longer life, and more consistent internal discharge, and easier-to-use shapes ( such as compact fluorescent lamps ).

Improvements in tubing and vacuum pumps, new filtering techniques, " supercharged " preheaters, and better storage containers have since been developed.

Improvements have been made in manufacturing processes, and many individual details of the instrument continue to receive attention.

Improvements in technology have provided weapons which weigh less, cost less, and can be assembled, loaded, and fired by an illiterate child, adding additional appeal to child soldiers.

Improvements in colour printing technology have reduced this problem and the map has coped with the identification of new lines without great difficulty.

Improvements in speed, slice count, and image quality have been the major focus primarily for cardiac imaging.

Improvements in life-extending care have somewhat lengthened the survival of children with Tay – Sachs disease, but no current therapy is able to reverse or delay the disease's progress.

Improvements in computer modeling, materials and the application of statistics, probability analysis, and new technologies like horizontal drilling and enhanced oil recovery, have drastically improved the toolbox of the petroleum engineer in recent decades.

Improvements in our understanding of the Viking period have done surprisingly little to falsify Haggard's imagination of its setting, and the book should still hold appeal to any reader interested in the period.

Improvements in compression techniques and disk storage capacity have mitigated these concerns, and the migration to High Definition video and audio has virtually removed this concern completely.

Improvements in statistical methodology related to a completely different branch of science – changes in DNA over time – have sparked a recent renewed interest.

Improvements to the automobile and highways, which coincided with the end of the gas boom, may have also contributed to the decline of the county's smaller communities.

Improvements made to Little Sodus Bay in the early 19th Century, allowed the town to have port facilities.
