  2. Door closer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door_closer

    Modern manual door closer Eclipse door spring and separate checking mechanism. A door closer is a mechanical device that regulates the speed and action of a door’s swing. [1] Manual closers store the force used to open the door in some type of spring and reuse it to close the door. Automatic types use electricity to regulate door swing behavior.

  3. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

    Camshafts normally have one lobe per valve, with a fixed valve duration and lift. Although many modern engines use camshaft phasing, adjusting the lift and valve duration in a working engine is more difficult. Some manufacturers use systems with more than one cam lobe, but this is still a compromise as only a few profiles can be in operation at ...

  4. Hydraulic tappet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_tappet

    The hydraulic lifter, situated between the camshaft and each valve, is a hollow steel cylinder encasing an internal piston. This piston is held at the outer limit of its travel with a strong spring. The lobed camshaft rhythmically presses against the lifter, which transmits the motion to the engine valve in one of two ways:

  5. Pin tumbler lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_tumbler_lock

    The first known example of a tumbler lock was found in the ruins of the Palace of Khorsabad built by king Sargon II (721–705 BC.) in Iraq. [1] Basic principles of the pin tumbler lock may date as far back as 2000 BC in Egypt; the lock consisted of a wooden post affixed to the door and a horizontal bolt that slid into the post.

  6. Bored cylindrical lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bored_cylindrical_lock

    Some commercially-sold doors may come prepared to receive one or more bored cylindrical locks, such as entry doors, which typically require both a door knob and dead bolt. [ 2 ] In the United States, typically, the face bore is sized from 1.5 to 2.125 inches (3.81 to 5.40 cm) in diameter and is centered at 2.375 or 2.75 inches (6.03 or 6.99 cm ...

  7. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    The common valve spring system is satisfactory for traditional mass-produced engines that do not rev highly and are of a design that requires low maintenance. [1] At the period of initial desmodromic development, valve springs were a major limitation on engine performance because they would break from metal fatigue.

    Outside Nissan headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee, there were several vehicles available to sample, including a two-door 1990 Pathfinder and a 1982 long-bed pickup, but I gravitated toward the 240Z.

  9. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    Oxygen and fuel gas regulators usually have two stages: The first stage of the regulator releases the gas at a constant pressure from the cylinder despite the pressure in the cylinder becoming less as the gas is released. The second stage of the regulator controls the pressure reduction from the intermediate pressure to low pressure.
