Topic: Brake (disambiguation)


  
  Brake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A brake is a device for slowing or stopping the motion of a machine or vehicle, and to keep it from starting to move again.
Alternatively, in regenerative braking, much of the energy is recovered and stored in a flywheel, capacitor or turned into alternating current by an alternator, then rectified and stored in a battery for later use.
The brakes must therefore dissipate four times as much energy to stop it and consequently the braking distance is four times longer.

Brakes of some description are fitted to most wheeled vehicles, including automobiles of all kinds, trains, motorcycles, and bicycles.

 Motorcycle - Wikipedia
There are generally two independent brakes on a motorcycle, one on the front wheel, controlled by the right hand lever, and one on the rear controlled by the right foot.
The front brake is generally much more powerful than the rear as the majority of stopping power comes from the front brake; rear wheels will generally lock and skid much more easily than the front.
Brakes can either be drum or disc based, with disc brakes being more common on large, modern or expensive motorcycles for their far superior stopping power, particularly in wet conditions.

 Bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Bicycle brakes are either rim brakes, in which friction pads are compressed against the wheel rims, internal hub brakes, in which the friction pads are contained within the wheel hubs, or disc brakes.
In the late 1990s, disc brakes appeared on some off-road bicycles, tandems and recumbent bicycles, but are considered impractical on road bicycles, which rarely encounter conditions where the advantages of discs are significant.
Mechanical disc brakes have less modulation than hydraulic disc brake systems, and since the cable is usually open to the outside, mechanical disc brakes tend to pick up small bits of dirt and grit in the cable lines when ridden in harsh terrain.

 Pedal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Bicycle pedal: on a bicycle, each of two platforms at the end of the crankarms, connected such that while the crank arms rotate, the pedals can stay parallel to the shoe soles; this human powered rotation provides the propulsion, usually through a bicycle chain that makes the back wheel turn.
In the case of a back pedalling brake, they are also used for applying the brake in the back wheel, again through the chain.

Such vehicles were in vogue for a time, and over the next decades such innovations as hand brakes, multi-speed transmissions, and improved speed and steering were developed.
Both "safety" modifications of the roadway are thought to be too expensive by most funding authorities, although these modifications would dramatically increase the number of vehicles that could safely use a high-speed highway.
Brakes are hydraulic so that failures are slow leaks, rather than an abrupt cable-parting.

With hand-operated brakes, force is applied to brake handles mounted on the handle bars and then transmitted via Bowden cable (or in much of the third world rods and levers) to the friction pads.
Rim brakes will provide adequate braking for every type of bicyle and cantilever type rim brakes can be used on the narrowest and the widest wheels and tires.
It should be noted that rim brakes are in fact a type of disc brake wherein the wheel is the disc.

Although cabooses were once used on nearly every freight train, their use has declined and they are seldom seen on regular trains except on locals and smaller railroads.
In the days before automatic brakes were fitted to freight vehicles, this could be used to provide additional braking power in addition to the locomotive's.
Also the brake van could be used to stop the train in the case of rear end of the train becoming unattached to the front end.

 Clutch -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
There are many different vehicle clutch designs, but most are based on one or more friction discs, pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs.
The friction material is very similar to the material used in brake shoes and pads and used to contain asbestos.
The spring pressure is released when the clutch pedal is depressed and the discs are held less tightly and allowed to rotate freely.

It also ran into asbestos problems, having used the material in the 1970s as brake liners.

When you use the brakes, a tadpole becomes both more stable, and more likely to slide instead of roll.
In contrast, a delta with the front brake on hard must go almost straight ahead to avoid tipping.
The other difference is that, what with all the roll resistance being at one end, tadpoles always understeer, and deltas always oversteer.

If the "sawing" maneuver had been done correctly, the freights would have allowed the approaching train to pass the first switch, and then the trains on the siding would moved past the other switch.
However, an air hose on one of the freight trains burst, applying the brakes on the freight cars behind the break, and left them immobile on the main line.
Popular legend holds that when Jones' body was pulled from the wreckage of his train his hands were still firmly latched onto the throttle and brake.

Word sense disambiguation can be divided into sense discrimination and sense labeling (Schütze, 1998).
The senses of ambiguous words can be discriminated by inducing the senses from corpora, and is often done by clustering the senses into sense groups.
We can conflate these two disparage relations into a generalized meronymy by moving one notch up in the abstraction level, by thinking of ‘a kind” as a part of a type and by thinking of ‘a part’ as a part of an entity.
