A cord is the amount of wood that, when "ranked and well stowed" (arranged so pieces are aligned, parallel, touching and compact), occupies a volume of 128 cubic feet (3.62 m 3). [46] This corresponds to a well-stacked woodpile, 4 feet deep by 4 feet high by 8 feet wide (122 cm × 122 cm × 244 cm) , or any other arrangement of linear ...
Spar buoys are often used as stable platforms for wave measurement devices [3] and air–sea interaction measurements. [4] Spar buoys range in length from around one metre [5] to the 108-metre (354-foot) RP FLIP. To avoid the difficulties inherent with shipboard launch and recovery, helicopter deployment of large spar buoys has been studied. [6]
The L5 frequency band at 1.17645 GHz was added in the process of GPS modernization. This frequency falls into an internationally protected range for aeronautical navigation, promising little or no interference under all circumstances. The first Block IIF satellite that provides this signal was launched in May 2010. [164]

SSC laptops connect to the station's wireless LAN via Wi-Fi, which connects to the ground via the K u band. While originally this provided speeds of 10 Mbit/s download and 3 Mbit/s upload from the station, [236] NASA upgraded the system in 2019 and increased the speeds to 600 Mbit/s. [237] ISS crew members have access to the internet. [238] [239]
For instance, the number 3 can be represented as the class of all sets that have exactly three elements. Alternatively, in Peano Arithmetic, the number 3 is represented as sss0, where s is the "successor" function (i.e., 3 is the third successor of 0). Many different representations are possible; all that is needed to formally represent 3 is to ...
It latches onto prey with its forelimbs, twisting and turning during the struggle and tries to pull it to the ground. The tiger generally applies a bite to the throat until its victim dies of strangulation. [47] [124] [125] [126] It has an average bite force at the canine tips of 1234.3 newtons. [127]
