  2. Ramp travel index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramp_travel_index

    The RTI rating is used mainly in the off-roading industry to test and describe chassis limits of modified vehicles. The ramps vary between 15 and 30 degrees of angle for the vehicle to ride up. "Ramping" a vehicle involves putting one front tire on the ramp and driving up slowly until one of the other three tires (usually the rear one on the ...

    A BEST Bus used for driving tests in Mumbai. A driving test (also known as a driving exam or driver's test in some places) is a procedure designed to test a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. It exists in various forms worldwide, and is often a requirement to obtain a license to drive a vehicle independently.

    During World War I, computing a target intercept course for a torpedo was a manual process where the fire control party was aided by various slide rules [13] (the U.S. examples were the Mark VIII Angle Solver (colloquially called the "banjo", for its shape), and the "Is/Was" circular sliderule (Nasmith Director), for predicting where a target ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-stability

    First it is known that to test K-stability, it is enough to consider toric test configurations, where the total space of the test configuration is also a toric variety. Any such toric test configuration can be elegantly described by a convex function on the moment polytope, and Donaldson originally defined K-stability for such convex functions.

  7. United Kingdom driving test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_driving_test

    UK driving licences were introduced by the Motor Car Act 1903 but no test was required. The intention was purely to identify vehicles and their drivers. [9] The Road Traffic Act 1930 introduced age restrictions and a test for disabled drivers; this was the first formal driving test in the UK.

  8. Toric section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toric_section

    A special case of a toric section is the spiric section, in which the intersecting plane is parallel to the rotational symmetry axis of the torus. They were discovered by the ancient Greek geometer Perseus in roughly 150 BC. [2] Well-known examples include the hippopede and the Cassini oval and their relatives, such as the lemniscate of Bernoulli.

    The test offers a stylized driving speed pattern with low accelerations, constant speed cruises, and many idling events. However, accelerations are much steeper and variable in practice, [ 8 ] which is in part caused by the power surplus of modern engines as the 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) average-time decreased from 14 seconds in 1981 to 9 ...
