  2. Overton window - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window

    It is also known as the window of discourse. The term is named after the American policy analyst and former senior vice president at Mackinac Center for Public Policy , Joseph Overton , who proposed that the political viability of an idea depends mainly on whether it falls within an acceptability range, rather than on the individual preferences ...

  3. Process window index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Window_Index

    Each thermal profile is ranked on how it fits in a process window (the specification or tolerance limit). [6] Raw temperature values are normalized in terms of a percentage relative to both the process mean and the window limits. The center of the process window is defined as zero, and the extreme edges of the process window are ±99%. [6]

  4. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    For example, if a shaft with a nominal diameter of 10 mm is to have a sliding fit within a hole, the shaft might be specified with a tolerance range from 9.964 to 10 mm (i.e., a zero fundamental deviation, but a lower deviation of 0.036 mm) and the hole might be specified with a tolerance range from 10.04 mm to 10.076 mm (0.04 mm fundamental ...

  5. Engineering fit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_fit

    Engineering fits are generally used as part of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when a part or assembly is designed. In engineering terms, the "fit" is the clearance between two mating parts, and the size of this clearance determines whether the parts can, at one end of the spectrum, move or rotate independently from each other or, at the other end, are temporarily or permanently joined.

  6. Tolerance analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolerance_analysis

    Tolerance analysis is the general term for activities related to the study of accumulated variation in mechanical parts and assemblies. Its methods may be used on other types of systems subject to accumulated variation, such as mechanical and electrical systems.

  7. Shelford's law of tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelford's_Law_of_Tolerance

    Shelford's law of tolerance is a principle developed by American zoologist Victor Ernest Shelford in 1911. It states that an organism 's success is based on a complex set of conditions and that each organism has a certain minimum, maximum, and optimum environmental factor or combination of factors that determine success.

    This was 2 years post Columbine and the school had a "zero tolerance" policy. The student was sent back to class and his father was called to come pick up the knife. There was no other punishment.

  9. Allowance (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allowance_(engineering)

    A tolerance is the expected limit of acceptable unintended deviation from a nominal or theoretical dimension. Therefore, a pair of tolerances, upper and lower, defines a range within which an actual dimension may fall while still being acceptable.
