	Operational Distinguishing Device - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Operational Distinguishing Device is a decoration of the United States Coast Guard which is awarded to certain units as an attachment to a unit award (such as the Coast Guard Unit Commendation and Meritorious Unit Commendation).
		To qualify for the Operational Distinguishing Device, a Coast Guard unit must have received a unit award under field conditions where such conditions warranted additional recognition beyond that which would normally be required for the standard unit award.
		The Operation Distinguishing Device is determined by local commanders, giving a wide discretion as to what actions may qualify.

	Computer
		What all input devices have in common is that they encode (convert) information of some type into data which can further be processed by the digital computer system.
		Output devices on the other hand, decode the data into information which can be understood by the computer user.
		The operating system also provides a layer of abstraction over the hardware, and gives access by providing services to other programs, such as code ("drivers") which allow programmers to write programs for a machine without needing to know the intimate details of all attached electronic devices.

	Design Control
		Each manufacturer of any class III or class II device, and the class I devices listed in paragraph (a) (2) of this section, shall establish and maintain procedures to control the design of the device in order to ensure that specified design requirements are met.
		Interface requirements specify characteristics of the device which are critical to compatibility with external systems; specifically, those characteristics which are mandated by external systems and outside the control of the developers.
		However, all devices require clinical evaluation and should be tested in the actual or simulated use environment as a part of validation.

		Be engaged in direct support for 30 consecutive days in the area of operations (or for the full period when an operation is less than 30 days duration) or for 60 nonconsecutive days provided this support involves entering the area of operations.
		For operations in which all deployed participants are awarded the HSM and for which the "period of immediate relief" coincides with the duration of significant deployed operations, award of the AFSM is not authorized.
		Once the recommendation of an operation or action has been authorized, determination of individual eligibility may be delegated to such level of the operational or administrative chain of command as deemed appropriate by the approval authority.

	USS Cleveland (LPD-7) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In October 1992 and in March of 1993, Cleveland deployed on short notice to Central America in support of law enforcement operations, where she was the first LPD to embark an SH-60 Seahawk helicopter.
		The trip to Hawaii for the exercise culminated in a parade of ships for the 50th anniversary celebration to commemorate the end of the war in the Pacific.
		Cleveland was once again called upon to perform outside her normal realm of operations while participating in recovery and salvage efforts of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 in February of 2000, receiving the Coast Guard Commendation Ribbon with Operational Distinguishing Device.

		On 13 June of that year, Captain Ernest J. King, USN, later to become Fleet Admiral and Chief of Naval Operations during World War II, and at that time Commander Submarine Division Three, suggested to the Secretary of the Navy, via the old Bureau of Navigation, that a distinguishing device for qualified submariners be adopted.
		The design chosen consisted of a bow view of a submarine proceeding on the surface, with bow planes rigged for diving, flanked by dolphins in horizontal positions with their heads resting on the upper edge of the bow planes.

		To increase overall operational readiness and capability in order to provide the best support possible for both new and traditional missions, the Auxiliary initiated and then executed Operational Patriot Readiness.
		In the first year since implementation, this highly successful operation has resulted in an estimated one-half million hours of dedicated volunteer support for the maritime security mission, through operations involving surface and air multi-mission harbor patrols, backfill search and rescue support and standby duties, as well as administrative and logistics activities.
		Further, the operation has been highly successful in preparing the Auxiliary for support in potential future maritime security surge operations.

	The Cross - U.S. Military Medals
		The Distinguished Service Cross was established by order of President Woodrow Wilson, as promulgated in War Department General Orders Number 6 of January 12, 1918, and formalized by Act of Congress on July 9, 1918 (Public Law 193, 65th Congress).
		The Distinguished Service Cross may be awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the Army, distinguishes himself by extraordinary heroism not justifying the award of a Medal of Honor.
		Awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross by the Army are only made to recognize single acts of heroism or extraordinary achievement and not to recognize sustained operational activities against an armed enemy.

		Research focuses on phenomena that have enough internal stability and cohesiveness to be said to develop--to undergo change while retaining identity and to evolve inherent, of their own accord.
		Philosophers should be able to distinguish a developmental theory derived from data from further claims, derived theoretically, regarding the ethical significance of certain findings.
		Additional ad hoc operating principles are added as well until a new more unified and coherent operating structure can be formed.

	U.S. Navy Torpedoes (part one)
		Underwater explosive devices were extensively used by the US Navy during the War of 1812, but had little impact other than to provoke vitriolic letters in the public press.
		The distinguishing technical features of these torpedoes as compared to the Whiteheads were, larger diameter (21"), turbine engines, alcohol fired dry heaters and higher pressure air.
		In particular, a wooden nose drag device was used to reduce water entry speed and wooden tail fins and provided aerodynamic stability after release from the aircraft and before water entry.

		Flight operations continued at NAS Jacksonville until P-2 aircraft were phased out of service in December 1968.
		This has been the command's trademark which is largely due to a rigorous process used to screen ground and flight instructors who come to the "Pro's Nest" with vast fleet operational experience and undergo an extensive Instructor Under Training (IUT) syllabus prior to being assigned as instructors.
