Also gas pedal. A throttle in the form of a foot-operated pedal, or sometimes a hand-operated lever or paddle, by which the flow of fuel to the engine (and thereby the engine speed) is controlled, with depression of the pedal causing the vehicle to accelerate. admission stroke See induction stroke. aftermarket air brake 1. A type of brake in which the force that actuates the brake mechanism is ...
Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical ...
Thrust bearings are used in cars because the forward gears in modern car gearboxes use helical gears which, while aiding in smoothness and noise reduction, cause axial forces that need to be dealt with. Thrust bearings are also used with radio antenna masts to reduce the load on an antenna rotator.
The carrier-to-noise ratio is defined as the ratio of the received modulated carrier signal power C to the received noise power N after the receiver filters: =. When both carrier and noise are measured across the same impedance, this ratio can equivalently be given as:
Car knocker Railroad car repair-person or car inspector. The term is derived from a worker who taps or "knocks" on railroad equipment to check its soundness. [62] Centennials Union Pacific's EMD DDA40X locomotives. World's most powerful diesel locomotives, delivered in 1969, the year of Union Pacific's centennial. [63] Centipede

LDT2: an LEV II light-duty truck with a loaded vehicle weight of 3751 pounds to a gross vehicle weight of 8500 pounds; LED: Light Emitting Diode
first course of a meal *(US usu. appetizer); more s.v. entree: one that starts (as a device to start an engine) transportation dispatcher or elevator (q.v.) dispatcher starting pitcher (baseball) the official who starts a track race. stash (v.) to quit, put an end to ("to stash it") (v.) to store away [old criminals' slang revived in US]
Given a carrier frequency offset,Δ, the received continuous-time signal will be rotated by a constant frequency and is in the form of , = | = (+) + + The carrier frequency offset can first be normalized with respect to the sub carrier spacing (= / ()) and then decomposed into the integral component () and fractional component (), that is, = (+) and <.
