  2. Overpass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpass

    In North American usage, a flyover is a high-level overpass, built above main overpass lanes, or a bridge built over what had been an at-grade intersection.Traffic engineers usually refer to the latter as a grade separation.

  3. Forward pass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_pass

    If a forward pass is caught near a sideline or endline it is a complete pass (or an interception) only if a receiver catches the ball "in bounds". For a pass to be ruled complete in-bounds, either one or two feet must touch the ground within the field boundaries after the ball is first grasped, depending on the league rules.

  4. Clearance (civil engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(civil_engineering)

    The clearance for overhead signs is 5.7 metres (18 ft 8 in) and the clearance for the soffit or underside of overpasses is 10 metres (32 ft 10 in). [ 6 ] In South Africa and the southern region of Africa, the minimum vertical clearance of modern bridges is 5 metres (16 ft 5 in), although the legal height limit of road vehicles is still at 4.3 ...

  5. Serial Line Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Line_Internet_Protocol

    On microcontrollers, however, SLIP is still the preferred way of encapsulating IP packets, due to its very small overhead. Some people refer to the successful and widely used RFC 1055 Serial Line Internet Protocol as "Rick Adams' SLIP", [ 3 ] to avoid confusion with other proposed protocols named "SLIP".

  6. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    As pointed out above, the achieved throughput is often lower than the maximum throughput. Also, the protocol overhead affects the perceived bandwidth. The throughput is not a well-defined metric when it comes to how to deal with protocol overhead. It is typically measured at a reference point below the network layer and above the physical layer.

  7. Interstate Highway standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_standards

    Vertical clearance: The minimum vertical clearance under overhead structures, such as bridges, is 16 feet (4.9 m), including both paved shoulders and an allowance for extra layers of pavement. Through urban areas, at least one routing is to have 16-foot (4.9 m) clearances, but others may have a lesser clearance of 14 feet (4.3 m).

  8. Variable-message sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-message_sign

    Overhead variable message signs are today available in three form factors: front access, rear access, and walk-in. In a front access variable message sign, maintenance is performed by lifting the sign open from the front. Most smaller VMS are of the front access form factor, and are typically installed today on major arterials.

  9. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    In telecommunications, the free-space path loss (FSPL) (also known as free-space loss, FSL) is the attenuation of radio energy between the feedpoints of two antennas that results from the combination of the receiving antenna's capture area plus the obstacle-free, line-of-sight (LoS) path through free space (usually air).
