  2. Wheel speed sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_speed_sensor

    The number of teeth is chosen as a trade-off between low-speed sensing/accuracy and high-speed sensing/cost. Greater numbers of teeth will require more machining operations and (in the case of passive sensors) produce a higher frequency output signal which may not be as easily interpreted at the receiving end, but give a better resolution and ...

  3. Universal Numbering System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Numbering_System

    Universal numbering system. This is a dental practitioner view, so tooth number 1, the rear upper tooth on the patient's right, appears on the left of the chart. The Universal Numbering System, sometimes called the "American System", is a dental notation system commonly used in the United States. [1] [2]

  4. Fizeau's measurement of the speed of light in air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizeau's_measurement_of_the...

    The light passes on one side of a tooth on the way out, and the other side on the way back, assuming the cog rotates one tooth during transit of the light. [ 1 ] : 123 In 1848–49, Hippolyte Fizeau determined the speed of light using an intense light source at the bell tower of his father's holiday home in Suresnes , and a mirror 8,633 meters ...

  5. Toothed belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothed_belt

    A toothed belt, timing belt, cogged belt, cog belt, or synchronous belt is a flexible belt with teeth moulded onto its inner surface. Toothed belts are usually designed to run over matching toothed pulleys or sprockets. Toothed belts are used in a wide array of mechanical devices where high power transmission is desired.

  6. Telephone number (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_number_(mathematics)

    More precisely, the 2-adic order (the number of factors of two in the prime factorization) of T(4k) and of T(4k + 1) is k; for T(4k + 2) it is k + 1, and for T(4k + 3) it is k + 2. [ 14 ] For any prime number p , one can test whether there exists a telephone number divisible by p by computing the recurrence for the sequence of telephone numbers ...

  7. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

    Toothed belts were invented in the early 1940s, for use in textile mills. [17] The first known automobile engine to use a timing belt was the American 1954 Devin-Panhard racing car, used an engine converted from pushrods to overhead camshafts through the use of a toothed belt made by the Gilmer Company.

    These are the front brake discs on a BMW R1150GS. The toothed ABS ring indicates that this bike was manufactured before November 2002. Another toothed-wheel ABS sensor. This is on a BMW K75 motorcycle. On a motorcycle, an anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels of a motorcycle from locking during braking situations.

  9. Cross-drive steering transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-drive_steering...

    A later design of cross-drive transmission, the Allison X1100, was used in the 1970s experimental US MBT-70 and XM1 [3] tanks, then later adopted in the M1 Abrams.This adopts a different principle for the steering cross-coupling: instead of a hydro-dynamic torque converter, it uses a hydrostatic combination of a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor.
