- 481: Carburetion Versus Fuel Injection
- ... fuel/air ratio must be obtained to burn properly. Fuel is discharged through 12 holes located in exactly the correct position in the venturi resulting a finely atomized mist similar to that of a paint gun spray mist (Motor World 1). The same effect is accomplished with E.F.I. by using high-pressure fuel rails and injectors. The computer electronically determines the amount of fuel the injector disperses to accomplish ... a precisely tuned carbureted engine can out perform an E.F.I. equipped engine. Calibration is the heart of the carburetor's contribution. An engine can not make decent power unless the carburetor maintains precise control of the air/fuel ratio throughout the engine's operating range. Warren Johnson, a Pro Stock racer, says there are only about two to three legitimate carb experts that can really dial in Carbs for ... rebuild or modify as a hobby. Carburetors are much harder to tune than fuel injectors are, although they contain fewer components. Carburetors have two screws that most carburetor owners know very well. These two screws control the air fuel mixture and idle speed. Rotate one screw on the carburetor while the car is at an idle state the engine may burn rich or lean with fuel. To find the perfect ...

It would be ludicrous not to fight the war in the air as much, if not more, than on the ground ( Schwarzkopf ).

Integration not only increases our ability to solve problems more creatively, but to control physical maladies such as epilepsy and migranes, replace certain damaged brain functions and even learn to "thin" into the future. Even more startling is evidence coming to light that we have become a left-brain ... an integrated whole. "The primitive cave person probably lived solely in the right brain," says Eli Bay, president of Relaxation Response Inc., a Toronto organization that teaches people how to relax. "As we gained more control over our environment we became more left-brain oriented until it became dominant." To prove this, Bay suggests: "Try going to your boss and saying "I've got a great hunch." Chances are your boss ... techniques that are as old as time, and modern high-tech versions such as biofeedback. An increasing number of medical professionals beieve that being in touch with our brain, especially the right half, can help control medical problems. For examplem Dr. Eisenberg uses what he calls "imaginal thinking" to control everything from migranes to asthma, to high blood pressure. "We have found," he says, "that by teaching someone to raise ...

- Telecommunication 1. Introduction Computer and telephone networks inflict a gigantic impact on today's society. From letting you call John in Calgary to letting you make a withdraw at your friendly ATM machine they control the flow of information. But today's complicated and expensive networks did not start out big and complicated but rather as a wire and two terminals back in 1844. From these simple networks to the ... code, allowing it to represent 128 characters without a shift code. The code defined 96 printable characters (A through Z in upper- and lowercase, numbers from 0 to 9, and various punctuation marks) and several control characters such as carriage return, line feed, backspace etc. ASCII also included an error checking mechanism. An extra bit, called the parity bit, is added to each character. When in even parity mode, the bit ... Microcomputer Products, took the lead in the PC modem business. Hayes pioneered the use of microprocessor chips inside the modem itself. The Hayes Smartmodem, introduced in 1981, used a Zilog Z-8 CPU chip to control the modem circuitry and to provide automatic dialing and answering. The Hayes unit could take the phone off the hook, wait for the dialtone, and dial a telephone number all by itself. The Hayes ...

- ... change, and influenced corporations to alter their poisoning mechanisms, the immediate change that Sagan calls for will necessarily meet with resistance. Sagan’s own “revelation” about mankind’s reticence to act unless literally “under the gun” remains a valid point. Destruction of the ozone layer and incidents such as the Exxon oil spill in Alaska are indeed enormous calamities, and we have been cautioned by at least one reputable scientist as ... new technologies adversely affects profit margins. Third, governmental failures in policy, according to Morgensen and Eisenstodt in “Profits are for Rape and Pillage,” create a situation where corporations have no incentive to move towards pollution control.

(D’ Este 117) Contrary to Omaha, Utah Beach was much less fortified. Over looking the beachhead were two large concrete casemated positions to hold large guns. Due to neglect, and Rommel’s (who was in charge of fortifying the coast of France) deflected attention to other possible invasion sights, resulting in only one of the casemated positions to install a large gun. The Germans had also not been able to fully construct defensive barriers yet by the time of the invasion and also had not completely laid the number of land mines Rommel had in mind. Aiding ... defenses awaiting the Americans. As the American soldiers steamed toward Utah Beach in their transports, it was quite evident the pounding the beachhead fortifications had taken from US naval artillery and rockets.

The artillery not only aided the soon to be arriving troops in that many coastal threats had been ...

His relations with Congress were unhappy, but he coped with scandal by prosecuting offenders, and, thanks to that, his integrity, and his self-possession, he retrieved public confidence in the White House.

This coalition effectively opposed Truman when the Democrats dominated congress (1945-1946 and 1949-1956) as well as when the Republicans were in control (1947-1948). One of his few domestic victories was the passage of the Housing Act of 1949, which included a provision for public housing. In another area in which Truman made important contributions--civil ...

With the Whig national ticket victorious, he hoped to share with Baker the control of federal patronage in his home state. The juiciest plum that had been promised to Illinois was the position of commissioner of the General Land Office in Washington. After trying vainly to reconcile two rival ... could only handle problems as they arose, confident that popular support for his solutions would be forthcoming. Lincoln believed that the ultimate decision in the Civil War was beyond his, or any other man's, control.

God alone can claim ... than his strengths. Immediately after his inauguration he faced a crisis over Fort Sumter in the Charleston (S. C.) harbor, one of the few remaining U.S. forts in the seceded states still under federal control. Informed that the troops would have to be supplied or withdrawn, the inexperienced President anxiously explored solutions. Withdrawal would appear a cowardly backdown, but reinforcing the fort might precipitate hostilities. Lincoln painfully concluded that ...
