  2. Orbital pass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_pass

    Visible pass of the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Atlantis over Tampa, Florida, on mission STS-132, May 18, 2010 (five-minute exposure). An orbital pass (or simply pass) is the period in which a spacecraft is above the local horizon, and thus available for line-of-sight communication with a given ground station, receiver, or relay satellite, or for visual sighting.

  3. Bypass (road) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bypass_(road)

    Overhead sign along Interstate 95 displaying Interstate 295 as a bypass route for Richmond, Virginia. In the Interstate Highway System in the United States, primary routes are designated with a one- or two-digit number, while bypasses and loops are generally designated with a three-digit number beginning with an even digit. However, there are ...

  4. Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Protocol...

    A worst case might be sending 3 ATM cells instead of two because of a 44 byte header overhead compared with a 10 byte header overhead, so 50% more time taken to transmit the data. For example, a TCP ACK packet over IPv6 is 60 bytes long, and with overhead of 40 or 44 bytes for PPPoEoA + LLC this requires three 48 byte ATM cells’ payloads.

  5. Zenith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenith

    Zenith stars (also "star on top", "overhead star", "latitude star") [8] are stars whose declination equals the latitude of the observers location, and hence at some time in the day or night pass culminate (pass) through the zenith. When at the zenith the right ascension of the star equals the local sidereal time at your location.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Overhead line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_line

    An overhead line or overhead wire is an electrical cable that is used to transmit electrical energy to electric locomotives, electric multiple units, trolleybuses or trams. The generic term used by the International Union of Railways for the technology is overhead line . [ 1 ]

  8. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains. Overhead line is designed on the principle of one or more overhead wires situated over rail tracks. Feeder stations at regular intervals along the overhead line supply power from the high-voltage grid.

  9. Pothead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pothead

    Each overhead wire is connected to a bushing terminal from which the current passes through a rod down the center of the bushing to the interior of the housing, where it is connected to a wire from the conduit. Thus the device allows the overhead conductors to pass into the conduit while serving as a seal to keep out water.
