  Japanese Dualmode Vehicle
The first attempt to develop a dual mode system was made by LMS Railway in England in 1932.
The test DMV (901) is a bus on the roads and a hybrid of bus and rail on rails.
The concept of the dual mode vehicle should be viewed as a new technology for use in the urban transport network, although the development of this technology was aimed at improving rural transportation service while reducing cost.

It looks like the trolley polls have resting holders on the back of the bus but when the trolleys are pulled down yhey rest to the right of the holders what is with that?
Once at the eastern extremity of the tunnel section (a bus / tram stop named Volkshochschule) there are also views showing how buses on route 145 use this location to switch between diesel and electric trolleybus modes (a fully automated process which takes barely a minute) whilst duobuses on route 147 remain as trolleybuses.

 Dual-mode bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A dual-mode bus is a bus that can run on power from two different sources, typically electricity from overhead lines and fossil fuel.
Electric power is required in the exclusive right of way that runs in a tunnel under Boston harbor; diesel power is used to run on city streets and highways, including the Ted Williams Tunnel to Logan Airport.
Seattle, Washington used similar dual-mode buses in its downtown bus tunnel until late 2004.

In dual mode, there are a total of four clock domains — two read and two write clocks.
Additionally, in dual mode, all the input and output ports have bus-matching capabilities of x10 or x20 bits wide.
The ten-bit bus also provides the ability to tag packets or frames with one bit signaling the start of the packet/frame, and the other signaling the end.

 Metro Hybrid Bus Program
The dual-mode bus operates as a conventional diesel bus on surface streets and as an electric trolley bus in the 1.3-mile tunnel under the Seattle central business district.
Upon reviewing the bus industry in 2000, it was determined that all of the vehicle demonstration data and performance information was based on a 40-foot urban transit bus.
The bus is filled with water containers equal to a 130-percent passenger load.

 Getting There: Rider dismayed by slow buses on the freeway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The 12-year-old bus Bain is riding is not an electric bus, but a dual-mode bus that runs on electric trolleys while in the downtown tunnel and on diesel when above ground.
The speed problems are worst southbound, but Walsh estimates the bus operates at 50 to 55 mph on the northbound route, where the speed limit is 60 mph.
Metro is testing a new hybrid diesel-electric bus to replace the aging dual-mode buses.

The PowerForce Dual G4 Series 133 processor card (and its cousin, the single processor version) is the most advanced, highest performance CPU card available for any PowerMac, and the only one of its kind for the PowerMac G4.
It is still the first and only dual processor upgrade, and now it's the first to utilize the latest (7457) processor.
This dual CPU card is removed and the PowerForce G4 card replaces the Apple card and *both* CPUs.It is not possible to install two PowerForce G4 cards to replace the two processors in your machine; only one card is required.

 Bus Priority Systems (Bus Rapid Transit) - Special Feature On Kerb Guided Buses (O-Bahn)
If, however, someone outside the bus touched it (or a passenger tried to alight at a stop) then it could be that the full line voltage would use them as a route to earth, resulting in the almost certain probability of a serious electric shock - or worse.
With the advent of the low-floor bus the duo-buses became seen to be of an obsolete design and with the cessation of guided bus services through the tunnels they have now been replaced with fully accessible low floor motorbuses.
Also included in the new service were shelters for 80 of the other bus stops along the route, new bus lanes and the fitting of transponders to the buses so they can trigger traffic signals to change in their favour.

 The Stories of a Jet in Hokkaido » Blog Archive » JR Hokkaido to debut dual-use bus and rail vehicle
It was talking about a new dual mode bus, which would be able to run on both rail and the road.
So supposedly this dual mode bus would be able to continue to provide service in these smaller towns.
So if this dual mode bus were to come to Hokkaido, it may help to reduce the population drain to the large cities, as people could commute easily to the larger metro areas from the smaller towns.

 BBPC News | BuildOrBuy - Dual Channel DDR RAM
When Dual Channel DDR Technology is activated, the bandwidth of Memory Bus will be double the original Memory Bus, with the fastest speed at 6.4GB/s DDR400.
To activate Dual Channel DDR Memory, two DDR Memory Modules are inserted individually, one each into Channel A and Channel B. If two DDR Memory Modules are inserted into the same Channel (DIMM 1,2,3 or DIMM 4,5,6) then Dual Channel Technology will operate ONLY as Single Channel Memory.
Serious, Dual Channel DDR is a function of the Memory Controller and NOT the RAM although achieving the intended throughput requires Two DDR Modules of the same RAM as explained in detail below.

I'm no poet (leave that to Bus Nerd), but I might be inspired to submit a little something this year.
Due to a series of bus mishaps--starting with an early arrival of the 27 (and a not-early-enough arrival of Bus Chick), and ending with a serious underestimation of the distance between the 23 stop at 4th S. Lander and the Link Operations and Maintenance Base on Airport Way--I was 30 minutes late.
I've been saying that the bus would be a great place to test Zune's wireless file sharing.

 SEATTLE TRANSIT ROUTES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Presumably, streetcar routes were constructed which in 1940 became various branches of trolleybus route 7, later "dual mode" bus routes 71-72-73, using diesel power north of the University area.
Such routes use "dual mode" buses, capable of operating as electric trolleybuses in the tunnel and as diesel motor buses outside the tunnel.
Most suburban bus routes were newly created by Metro, while a few routes evolved from private predecessor operations.

 Dual cores and dual buses: The bolt-on story
The standard Smithfield is the same, except HT is disabled, even with their separate bus interfaces, while the next round, Presler, is two separate CPU chips in one package.
So, in a way, neither of these is actually a dual-core CPU, like POWER5, Montecito or dual-core Opteron would be: Smithfield is a dual CPU chip, where two totally separate processors happen to share a single chip, and Presler is a dual-chip DCM (dual-chip module).
Simply, it is a three-load bus, just like with Xeon DP dual-CPU systems, except that in this case, the situation is a bit simpler for the traces, as two CPU buses end in the same package.
