X-Y table. X-Y tables, also known as cross working tables or coordinate tables, help provide horizontal motion for automated machinery such as assembly robots in manufacturing facilities. Robotic arms and other automated machinery have only a limited range of motion while their bases remain stationary; X-Y tables allow this basis to move horizontally along X and Y axis. Also known as XY stages, XY tables are motorized linear slides with linear motion based in bearings which are driven by a drive mechanism, typically a linear motor. XY tables are built and configured to provide high-performance positioning along multiple axes.

Applications
Serving industries including general machinery, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and semiconductor, XY tables offer precision-controlled automated movement. XY tables are broadly used in mechanical processes and applications including material handling, industrial automation equipment, machinery building and automated measurement.

Construction
XY tables are flat surfaces mounted on ball bearing slides or roller slides with multiple linear bases and are composed of forcers and platens. The forcer glides over the platen on frictionless air bearings and moves continuously in a linear motion across the platen. To create multiple axis, linear bases are often stacked on top of one another, with the top "Y" axis acting both as a carriage to the bottom base and as the base which holds the table. Adjustable gibs can be attached on both axis. These types of XY tables, used frequently for the movement of robotic, are often called "positioning tables". Materials used to construct XY tables include stainless steel and cast iron as well as bronze for bearings and aluminum for frames.

Types
Variations among XY tables include the ways and the drive mechanism. The ways determine load capacity, straight-line accuracy, and stiffness, or durability, while the drive mechanisms determine smoothness and speed. In general, XY tables require very little maintenance, and are considered to be highly accurate, easy-to-use and lightweight. However, depending on the weight of the load, ball bearings within XY ball bearing tables and slides can acquire a significant amount of wear and may need to be replaced regularly.

Ellison-Mahon Aircraft. Ellison-Mahon Aircraft is an American aircraft development company located in the Seattle, Washington area.  Its principals are Ben Ellison and Ross Mahon.

Product line
In the early 1990s the designers began study of an amphibious aircraft.  They settled on a twin-engine configuration similar to the Grumman Widgeon, which first flew in 1940, but planned on improving the takeoff characteristics and on using non-corroding materials for the structure.  By 2006 they had built a composite-material prototype (FAA registration N204EM), which is based at the Renton Airport, and which uses nearby Lake Washington for water testing.  The airplane is named Gweduck, borrowing on the name of the Native American shellfish that is indigenous to the Pacific Northwest.  First flight of the prototype occurred on 2 May 2009.

The Ellison-Mahon Gweduck is a high-wing design, with two 300 hp (224 kW) Lycoming IO-540 engines mounted on the wing leading edge.  It seats 6 to 8 people in 2-abreast seating.  Wingspan is 50.5 ft (15.4 m) with tip floats in the flight (retracted) position, or 48.0 ft (14.63 m) with tip floats extended.  The wing area is 295 ft² (27.4 m²).  Fuselage length is 32.5 ft (9.91 m).  Gross weight is 6000 pounds, empty weight is 4200 pounds.

To facilitate docking, the pilot can pump up to 150 lb (68 kg) of water into a tank in one wing, so that the opposite float can be stowed.

The aircraft is intended for the kitplane market.

Ford Kinetic Design. Kinetic Design is the name given to a style of automobile design used by Ford Motor Company for many of its passenger vehicles in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Developed by the design studios of Ford of Europe in Germany and Britain, it replaced New Edge, and was first shown in 2005 with the SAV concept. Kinetic Design or Kinetic Design elements have featured on the Ford Ka from the 2008 model onward, the Ford Fiesta (as well as the Ford Verve concept) from the 2008 model onward, the Ford Focus from the 2008 model onward, the Ford C-MAX from the 2007 model onward, the Ford Kuga, the Ford Mondeo from the 2007 model onward, the Ford S-MAX and the Ford Galaxy from the 2006 model onward.

Common features of Kinetic Design is the large, lower trapezoidal grille which may resemble an opened mouth; geometric shaped fog lights to the side; long, straight creases along the side; and headlights that seem to stretch out from the front.

History
The Ford Kinetic Design was first seen when Ford unveiled the Ford iosis concept.
It was later phased out in 2012 starting with the facelifted Ford Fiesta and replaced by Kinetic Design 2.0.

Spira (car). The Spira is a lightweight, fuel-efficient, three-wheeled, two-passenger car designed for the roads of Southeast Asia. 90% of its bodywork is made from a lightweight, reinforced foam. The car weighs only , and has a fuel efficiency of more than 100 mpg. The car's foam contains millions of air cells, and these act as tiny airbags during collisions, which offers protection to the car's occupants, as well as to the pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists who are very common in the areas where the car is planned to be used. The car's foam can be made from soybeans. The car, which was invented by Lon Ballard, has been entered into the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize competition.

Aging (scheduling). In computer science for Operating systems, aging (US English) or ageing is a scheduling technique used to avoid starvation. Fixed priority scheduling is a scheduling discipline, in which tasks queued for utilizing a system resource are assigned a priority each. A task with a high priority is allowed to access a specific system resource before a task with a lower priority is allowed to do the same. A disadvantage of this approach is that tasks assigned with a lower priority may be starved when a large number of high priority tasks are queued. Aging is used to gradually increase the priority of a task, based on its waiting time in the ready queue.

Problem

In priority-based scheduling algorithms, a major problem is indefinite block, or starvation. A process that is ready to run but waiting for the CPU can be considered blocked. A priority scheduling algorithm can leave some low-priority processes waiting indefinitely. A steady stream of higher-priority processes can prevent a low-priority process from ever getting the CPU.

Application

Aging is used to ensure that jobs with lower priority will eventually complete their execution. This technique can be used to reduce starvation of low priority tasks.  
There are many ways to implement aging, but all have the same principle that the priority of a process should increase as it waits in the ready queue. The increase in priority may or may not be equal to the waiting time of the process.

Example

Suppose a system with priority range of 0-511. In this system, 0 means highest priority.
Consider a process with priority 127. If we increase its priority by 1 every 15 minutes, then in more than 32 hours the process will age to 0 priority and get executed.

Elemental chlorine free. Elemental chlorine free (ECF) is a technique that uses chlorine dioxide for the bleaching of wood pulp. It does not use elemental chlorine gas during the bleaching process and prevents the formation of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, carcinogens.  The traditional ECF sequence is DEopDEpD using the common letter symbols for bleaching stages, though many improved sequences are available.

Totally chlorine free (TCF) is paper that does not use any chlorine compounds for wood pulp bleaching.
