 Device for rotating, at will and step by step, a shaft driven from a driving shaft - Patent 4584890
For improved operation, it is desirable for a second friction plate, coaxial with the driven shaft, to be integral with the body and situated opposite the first friction plate.
Whatever the embodiment contemplated, it is advantageous for the means transforming the continuous rotational movement of the drive shaft into an alternating rotational movement of the intermediate rotary member to comprise a connecting rod-crank assembly coupled on one side to the intermediate rotary member and on the other side to the drive shaft.
Opposite each of the lateral faces of the electromagnetic actuator is disposed an annular friction shoe 13 locked in rotation, through an axially acting return spring 14 to which it is fixed by bolts 15, with the body 16 of a free wheel 17 with rollers 18 carried by the driven shaft 2.

 Nuclear testing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Frigate Bird - on May 6, 1962, a UGM-27 Polaris A-1 missile with a live 600 kt W47 warhead was launched from the USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608), it flew 1900 km, re-entered the atmosphere, and detonated at an altitude of 3.4 km over the South Pacific; part of Operation Dominic I.
Planned as a method to dispel doubts about whether the USA's nuclear Missiles would actually function in practice, it had less effect than was hoped, as the stockpile warhead was substantially modified prior to testing, and the missile tested was a relatively low-flying SLBM and not a high-flying ICBM.
Both were part of Operation Hardtack and had a yield of 3.75 Mt On July 9, 1962, Thor missile 195 launched a Mk4 reentry vehicle containing a W49 thermonuclear warhead to an altitude of 248 miles (400 km).

 Niblick & Greene's Dining Above Par In Central Oregon
Already partners in a legendary local restaurant, and well known around Eagle Crest for their golf course antics, John and Robert were offered the opportunity to become independent contractors on the Eagle Crest Resort Campus, and they jumped at the chance, resulting in taking double bogeys on the 15th hole.
Opening the doors for the first time on Valentine's Day, 1996, (which was a crummy day for golf, anyway) Niblick and Greene's has attracted more and more customers each year at an astonishing rate.
With dedication to: flawlessness in the food, customer service that exceeds typical expectations, and playing as much golf as possible, the operation has expanded to include all the banquets and catering events around the resort; primarily at the Eagle Crest Conference Center, which seats up to 600.

Three and a half rehabs, to be precise; two of them astonishingly expensive, two of them astonishingly incompetent, one of them so greedy that the management demolished and replaced the building while still accepting patients, which did nothing for the victims of paranoia and stress on the next floor up.

 U.S. Nuclear Weapons Program
These tests were the first weapons effects tests ever conducted and primarily explored the response of naval vessels to the effects of an atomic detonation.
Despite the secrecy surrounding these tests, most operations were announced to the general public and several featured open tests, in which civilian members of the press were allowed to observe nuclear detonations.
Nuclear devices would be detonated underwater at various depths to study their effects on naval equipment, as well as to study natural phenomena caused by such explosions.

The appeal is a continuation of an obvious campaign to disrupt and discourage the business of the airport, which has been in continuous operation for nearly sixty years, with the ultimate goal of forcing the closure of the only general aviation facility in Boone County, Indiana.
Terry Airport and its current and previous owners and operators have been well known and appreciated in the general aviation community of Indiana for providing a safe, friendly haven for aircraft owners and pilots.
The owner/operators and the users of the airport are respectful of the rights of airport neighbors and sensitive to environmental effects of aircraft operation and comply with all Federal Aviation Regulations.

 M79
The M79 was a product of the failure of Project NIBLICK to create an envisioned multi-shot 40 mm system, for which the cartridge had originally been designed.
Short in length and fairly light in weight, the M79 proved extremely useful in the confining jungles of Vietnam.
The M79 has seen notable limited use during Operation Iraqi Freedom, such as for clearing IEDs.

 Nuclear Test Names
The early test operations were conducted as part of a test series, a large scale operation where many scientists, support technicians, military personnel, etc. assemble in order to set off and observe a number of devices over several weeks or months.
For example the second and third test explosions of nuclear weapons (which were the fourth and fifth nuclear explosions of course) were part of the Crossroads test series.
Actually these tests are also still designated as being part of specific test series, but now each "series" simply corresponds to a government fiscal year (Operation Niblick is FY64, Operation Whetstone is FY65, etc.) and loses any real meaning.

 MILNET: Carey Sublette's Nuclear Weapons FAQ
Fission bombs operate by rapidly assembling a subcritical configuration of fissile material (plutonium or enriched uranium) into one that is highly supercritical.
Variants on the basic boosting approach that have been tested including the use of deuterium gas only, and the use of lithium deuteride/tritide, but it isn't known whether any of these approaches have been used in operational weapons.
Due to the marked increase in yield (as well as other reasons - such as reducing the weight of the fission system, and eliminating the risk of predetonation) today most fission bombs are boosted, including those used as primaries in true fission-fusion weapons.

Often, addressing these components is as costly, if not more so, than acquiring the computers themselves.
