 Variable Speed Control
A "Torque Source" is one where the driven load is driven by a constant torque, and the speed alters to the point where the torque of the driven load equals the torque delivered by the motor.
The fluid coupling is a torque coupling whereby the input torque is equal to the output torque.
With the slip ring motor, the stator voltage is held constant at line voltage, and the rotor resistance is varied to alter the torque capacity of the motor and hence the speed.

 Coupling Constants for the Fundamental Forces
In obtaining a coupling constant for the strong interaction, say in comparison to the electromagnetic force, it must be recognized that they are very different in nature.
This coupling constant is also called the "fine structure constant" since it shows up in the description of the fine structure of atomic spectra.
The lifetime of a particle is proportional to the inverse square of the coupling constant of the force which causes the decay.

  How are string theories related?
If the coupling constant gets very large compared to unity, perturbation theory becomes useless, because higher powers of the expansion parameter are bigger, not smaller, than lower powers.
A quantum field theory can be weakly coupled at low energies and strongly coupled at high energies, as is true with the fine structure constant a in QED, or strongly coupled at low energies and weakly coupled at high energies, as is true with the coupling constant for quark and gluon interactions in QCD.
At very strong coupling, heterotic SO(32) string theory has excitations that are open strings, but these open strings are highly unstable in the weakly coupled limit of the theory, which is the limit in which heterotic string theory is commonly understood.

  constants
The electromagnetic coupling constant is just another name for the fine structure constant; it describes the strength of the electromagnetic field.
Similarly, the strong coupling constant describes the strength of the strong force - the force transmitted by gluons, which binds quarks together into baryons and mesons.
Instead of the electromagnetic coupling constant together with the masses of the W, Z, and Higgs, we could have used 4 other constants: the U(1) coupling constant, the SU(2) coupling constant, the mass of the Higgs, and the expectation value of the Higgs field.

 Coupling constant | Topic Definition | Find the Meaning and Define the Answer of Coupling constant
For example, the fine-structure constant is a coupling constant that determines the strength of the electromagnetic force.
If the coupling constant is (much) smaller than one, the theory is (very) weakly coupled, and it can be (very) well described by perturbation theory where the coupling constant plays the role of the expansion parameter; this is the case of quantum electrodynamics, for example.
However, in the case of string theory, these coupling constants are not pre-determined, adjustable, but universal parameters, but rather dynamical scalar fields that can depend on the position in space and time and whose values are determined dynamically.

 Device for tapping radiation from, or injecting radiation into, single made optical fiber, and communication system ...
Such coupling is caused by means of a "grating" in the fiber, with the grating being formed by impressing a periodic (or pseudo-periodic) modulation on the fiber, or by causing a periodic (or pseudo-periodic) variation of the refractive index of the fiber by means of the photoelastic or the photorefractive effect.
The coupling means of claim 1, wherein the means for locally changing the core refractive index comprise a photo-refractively active chemical element present in the core, and means for exposing the fiber core to actinic radiation, whereby the refractive index of the fiber core can be changed by means of the photo-refractive effect.
The coupling means comprises means for forming a grating, e.g., means for locally changing the optical characteristics of the fiber by impressing a multiplicity of regularly (periodically or pseudo-periodically) spaced deformations on the fiber, or by changing the refractive index of the fiber in a multiplicity of regularly spaced fiber regions.

 Thompson Couplings Ltd - What is the Thompson Coupling
The Thompson Coupling is essentially two Cardan joints assembled coaxially where the cruciform-equivalent members of each are connected to one another by trunnions and bearings which are constrained to continuously lie on the homokinetic plane of the joint.
In operation the component parts of the coupling remain balanced about the three rotational axis of the joint namely the input shaft axis, the output shaft axis and the axis of the homokinetic plane.
The Thompson Coupling has essentially the same construction as a normal Cardan joint but does not suffer the dynamic loads due to fluctuating angular velocity of intermediate shafts and load as is the case where Cardan joints are used.

The coupling constant between two hydrogens is a function of the dihedral angle between the two hydrogens.

 Meson-Baryon coupling constants in QCD sum rules   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Calculation of the coupling constants at the hadronic vertices directly from the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which is the gauge theory of the strong interactions involving the quarks and the gluons, is a long-standing problem.
We observe that the scalar meson-baryon coupling constants as obtained from the QCDSR depend on the picture assumed for the structure of the scalar mesons (qbar{q} or q^2bar{q}^2), whereas the F/(F+D) ratio, which is alpha_s=0.55, remains intact in the two pictures.
Chapter 4 is devoted to the calculation of the vector and the tensor coupling constants of the vector mesons rho and omega to the N, Lambda, Xi and Sigma baryons using the external-field QCDSR method.

 Fundamental physical constant Summary
In order for a quantity to be a fundamental constant, it must appear as a constant in a physical law, and it must take the same value in every law in which it appears.
In physics, fundamental physical constants are, in the strictest sense, physical constants that are independent of systems of units and hence are dimensionless numbers.
This is accomplished by defining the units of measurement in such a way that several of the most common physical constants, such as the speed of light, are normalized to unity.

 CERN Courier - Are the fundamental constant - IOP Publishing - article
At around the same time, Pascal Jordan discussed the possibility that other constants could also be time-dependent (Jordan 1937; 1939), but he refused to consider that the constant of the weak interactions or the ratio of the electron and proton mass might be time-dependent.
In the case where the coupling constant remains invariant, but the energy at which the unification takes place depends on time, one finds that the time change of the scale Λ for the strong interactions is about 31 times larger than the time change of α, but has the opposite sign.
In these theories, dimensionless coupling constants such as α are related to functions of vacuum expectation values of scalar fields, which could easily depend on time.
