  BLU-82 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Vietnam war, Daisy Cutter was generally used to refer to a standoff bomb fuze.
It should be noted that although commonly referred to as daisy cutter, the term actually refers to the fuse extender on the nose of the bomb.
The daisy cutter was originally used to create an instant clearing in dense jungle for helicopter landing zones.

 Calma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This effort was spurred by the arrival of Josef Sukonick, a recent MIT math Ph.D. who had become aware of the market potential for such a system for integrated circuit (IC) design through his work at the CAD (computer-aided design) group of Fairchild Semiconductor in Sunnyvale, CA.
Most of the systems sold are constructed by combining available components to meet the requirements of the customers' specific design or drafting application.
To date systems have been sold principally to electronics firms for use in the design of integrated circuits, printed circuit boards and electrical schematics; to governmental agencies and public utilities for use in cartographic applications; and to manufacturing companies for use in the design of mechanical parts and systems."

There are many other failure modes in JBOD systems wherein access to a single drive, a group of drives or an entire storage system can be compromised.
The reliability of a system utilizing SBODs is demonstrably superior to a comparable JBOD system.
A system that uses a fabric switch in the root position solves the problem of unfairness, but the costs become even more onerous.

The server in a CS system is able to more quickly process data requests from the client computers because it only uses its cpu while "managing" the network (controlling access to the storage devices and processing data requests from the clients).
While proprietary systems may appear to be less expensive at the beginning of a network implementation project, they rarely turn out to be the less costly in terms of performance and maintenance.
This type of system will be required as we move into the areas of distributed learning and interactive multimedia learning systems such as virtual reality and hypermedia.

The second type of propulsion system produced by Daisy is the Pneumatic (pronounced NEW-MAT-TIC) Propulsion System.
This process allows compressed air to build in the chamber so that when the trigger is pulled, compressed air is released into the barrel and drives the projectile forward through the barrel and out to the target.
The unique propulsion system of the CO Method allows repeated firing without pumping or cocking the spring - something the other two methods cannot do.

The two models of consideration are (i) the multiply twisted ring system and (ii) the daisy-like ring structure.
The derivations are made on the basis of the Wang-Uhlenbeck theorem on Gaussian distributions for the static properties and the Kirkwood-Riseman preaverage approximation for the hydrodynamics.
To distinguish the multiply twisted ring system from a linear open chain, it is necessary to measure the scattering intensity over a large q range.
