  2. Floating charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_charge

    In finance, a floating charge is a security interest over a fund of changing assets of a company or other legal person.Unlike a fixed charge, which is created over ascertained and definite property, a floating charge is created over property of an ambulatory and shifting nature, such as receivables and stock.

  3. RP FLIP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP_FLIP

    R/P FLIP (floating instrument platform) is an open ocean research platform [3] [6] that was owned by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) and operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. [7]

  4. Illingworth v Houldsworth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illingworth_v_Houldsworth

    Romer LJ said a charge is "floating" if it (1) is a charge on present and future assets (2) the class of assets changes in the ordinary course of business, and (3) the company can deal with the assets in business as usual. [1] The term “floating” is one that until recently was a mere popular term. It certainly had no distinct legal meaning.

  5. Fixed-target experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-target_experiment

    A fixed-target experiment in particle physics is an experiment in which a beam of accelerated particles is collided with a stationary target. The moving beam (also known as a projectile) consists of charged particles such as electrons or protons and is accelerated to relativistic speed .

  6. Water thread experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thread_experiment

    The water thread experiment is a phenomenon that occurs when two containers of deionized water, placed on an insulator, are connected by a thread, then a high-voltage positive electric charge is applied to one container, and a negative charge to the other. At a critical voltage, an unsupported water liquid bridge is formed between the ...

  7. Floating ground - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_ground

    Electrical equipment may be designed with a floating ground for one of several reasons. One is safety. For example, a low-voltage DC power supply, such as a mobile phone charger, is connected to the mains through a transformer of one type or another, and there is no direct electrical connection between the current return path on the low-voltage side and physical ground (earth).

  8. Float voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_voltage

    Float voltage is the voltage at which a battery is maintained after being fully charged to maintain that capacity by compensating for self-discharge of the battery. [1] The voltage could be held constant for the entire duration of the cell's operation (such as in an automotive battery) or could be held for a particular phase of charging by the charger. [2]

  9. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    For a floating object, only the submerged volume displaces water. For a sunken object, the entire volume displaces water, and there will be an additional force of reaction from the solid floor. In order for Archimedes' principle to be used alone, the object in question must be in equilibrium (the sum of the forces on the object must be zero ...
