  2. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

    A form of what can be described as regenerative braking is used on some parts of the London Underground, achieved by having small slopes leading up and down from stations. The train is slowed by the climb, and then leaves down a slope, so kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy in the station. [ 23 ]

  3. Terminal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_ballistics

    Particularly soft forms of lead may expand well at longer ranges, but must be kept at a velocity that is within reason for a close ranged shot. More resilient lead alloys which retain malleability will exhibit exceptional mass retention when pushed to a respective velocity and promptly strike hard surfaces at close range, but may have limited ...

  4. Functional reactive programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_reactive...

    The original formulation of functional reactive programming can be found in the ICFP 97 paper Functional Reactive Animation by Conal Elliott and Paul Hudak. [1] FRP has taken many forms since its introduction in 1997. One axis of diversity is discrete vs. continuous semantics. Another axis is how FRP systems can be changed dynamically. [2]

  5. Deuterium - Wikipedia

    It also has an even parity and therefore even orbital angular momentum l. The lower its orbital angular momentum, the lower its energy. Therefore, the lowest possible energy state has s = 1, l = 0. In the second case the deuteron is a spin singlet, so that its total spin s is 0. It also has an odd parity and therefore odd orbital angular ...

  6. React (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_(software)

    On February 16, 2019, React 16.8 was released to the public, introducing React Hooks. [18] Hooks are functions that let developers "hook into" React state and lifecycle features from function components. [19]

  7. Radar jamming and deception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_jamming_and_deception

    Radar jamming and deception is a form of electronic countermeasures (ECMs) that intentionally sends out radio frequency signals to interfere with the operation of radar by saturating its receiver with noise or false information.

  8. Laser rangefinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_rangefinder

    A long-range laser rangefinder is capable of measuring distance up to 20 km; mounted on a tripod with an angular mount. The resulting system also provides azimuth and elevation measurements. A laser rangefinder, also known as a laser telemeter, is a rangefinder that uses a laser beam to determine the distance to an object.

  9. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    Human-in-the-loop simulation of outer space Visualization of a direct numerical simulation model. Historically, simulations used in different fields developed largely independently, but 20th-century studies of systems theory and cybernetics combined with spreading use of computers across all those fields have led to some unification and a more systematic view of the concept.
