	Pitch (vertical space) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In rock climbing or ice climbing, a pitch is a steep section of a route that requires a rope between two belays, as part of a climbing system.
		The term pitch is also used by cavers to refer to a very steep or vertical section (called a drop, pit, or shaft) in a cave that needs ladders or Single Rope Technique to descend and ascend (a drop that can be descended and ascended without equipment is a climb).
		The deepest underground pitch is 603m in Vrtoglavica cave in the Julian Alps in Slovenia.

	Pitching
		Pitch is the property of a sound or musical tone measured by its perceived frequency.
		Pitch, in Geometry, is a measure of an angle or incline; in this sense:
		Pitching inside is a common and legal tactic in baseball, and many players make use of brushback pitches, or pitches aimed underneath the chin, to keep players away from the plate.

	Flying a helicopter
		For straight flight, the pitch of the tail rotor is set to prevent the helicopter from turning to the right as the main rotor turns to the left.
		To Climb, the angle ot pitch of the blades is increased.
		To descend, the pitch of the blades is decreased.

	The ATM's Workshop - Making A Pitch Lap
		Once the pitch has completely melted and you have stirred it to ensure it is homogeneous, it is time to see how hard it is. There are many possible ways to do this but I simply allow a single drop of hot pitch to fall from the wooden stirring stick into the jar of water.
		Pitch that is too hard may be softened by adding a tiny amount of solvent to it.
		Once the base is pressed evenly into the pitch and is making contact all the way around the edge, ensure that it has settled into the pitch to the same level all around and then leave it to cool down for a few minutes.

	CBS News Space Place - STS-121 Status Report
		By building a reusable space vehicle, the United States would be able to lower the cost of placing a payload into orbit while at the same time, increase its operational capability on the high frontier.
		The nation's space policy then focused on the shuttle as the premier launcher in the American inventory and expendable rockets were phased out.
		Calculations and analysis of launch photography indicate the acceleration forces the astronauts felt were between 12 and 20 times the force of gravity in a vertical direction, that is, as the cabin broke away, the astronauts were violently pushed down in their seats.

	Chapter 19 -- The Space Shuttle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The space shuttle consists of millions of complicated parts all of which must be working in order for the vehicle to reach space and to return safely to Earth.
		The space shuttle's EMU is modular and it has two basic sizes, one for large astronauts, 69 inches tall and greater, and one for small astronauts, less than 69 inches tall.
		Space flight is a high risk business and despite all the safety precautions and hard work there will probably be another fatal accident.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Ask Us - Helicopter Forward Motion
		As a helicopter rotor is rotating about its vertical axis, the blades are constantly changing, not only in location, but also in pitch, and more importantly in angle with respect to the vertical axis.
		As the blades rotate, their pitch, which is defined as the rotation of the blade along its length, is constantly changing.
		This control collectively changes the pitch of all the blades the same amount, increasing or decreasing the total lift of the rotor, and causing the aircraft to climb or descend.

	Space Camp Activities-Effects on Eye Conditions
		It is the belief of the organizers of SCI-VIS and Space Camp that all students should participate in the complete "Space Camp Experience", yet at the same time, safety is our utmost concern.
		Thank you for your kind invitation to attend the US Space and Rocket Center and evaluate simulators for their potential use in space camp for visually impaired school-aged children.
		It is unlikely that these children would be participating in space camp activities since this would likely occur in the immediate post-operative period.

	Research in Physics & Astronomy at Dartmouth College
		The theoretical Space Physics group incorporates 3D global magneto- hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations (Lyon, Wiltberger) of the solar wind interacting with the earth's magnetosphere, and hybrid simulations on a finer scale of processes associated with the flow of the solar wind around the magnetosphere.
		This so-called heliosphere is a large region of space where solar wind and interstellar plasma interact, and where interstellar neutral particles form yet another distinct distribution.
		Additional theoretical and experimental space physics research is ongoing at the Thayer School of Engineering under the direction of Professors Lotko, Sonnerup, Shepherd, and Streltsov.

	Cut The Umbilical Cord And Roar Into Space
		The upper stages--with explosive bolts nearer their engines, had to both separate and ignite in the stratosphere during flight, and they could not be test-fired as part of the integrated vehicle stack without blowing it apart.
		Due to massive vertical integration, none of the Saturn's stages could be used as cheap com-sat launchers like the much more modular Zenit strap-ons, which allowed all of the Energia Launch vehicle stacks engines to burn without obstruction.
		But these hydrogen engines must NOT be located in the orbiter, as was the case with Columbia and her sisters because of the tremendous stress-loadinf upon the orbiter that must camber up to space loaded down with the hydrogen-filled External Tank that must be fed from through holes or pass-thrus in the orbiters heat shield.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Ask Us - Canted Vertical Tails
		The tail configuration you have mentioned is usually referred to as canted vertical tails, since the vertical stabilizers are canted away from being 90° straight up and down.
		In addition, the tails generate some pitch control since the aerodynamic forces acting on the canted tails are broken into vertical (pitch) and horizontal (yaw) components.
		Since canting the vertical stabilizers has such an important impact on stealth characteristics, it is not surprising that every stealth aircraft today employs them, with the obvious exception of tailless aircraft like the B-2 Spirit.

		Riding the pitch control, or pitch bending, involves being able to identify whether a track is too fast, or too slow, and then making fluid adjustments.
		On the other turntable, go ahead and queue up the track in your headphones, with your pitch centered at 0% (if using a turntable with a Quartz Lock, such as the 1200 M3D, be sure the Quartz Lock is NOT enabled).
		If you're going too fast, immediately decrease the pitch setting, -6% should do the trick (do exactly the opposite of this if the track is too slow, and increase the pitch to +6%).

		The lifting force and vertical alignment of the cables are controlled automatically through the action of servo-controlled hydraulic drive systems which power the overhead traveling bridge crane and dolly unit mounted on the large gantry structure.
		Load cells are carried in the vertical struts to sense cable force for the lift servo system, and cable angle sensors are mounted on the bottom of the dolly to provide error feedback signals for the bridge and dolly servo drive systems.
		This was done by suspending the subject on his side so that he was free to generate walking movements on a plane inclined to about 80.5 degrees relative to the vertical direction of earth's gravity.

		The primary function of this device is to convert an audio input into a DC voltage whose value is proportional to the pitch of that input signal.
		each pitch is attacked and has a characteristic envelope, and there may or may not be complete silence between notes.
		Accurate tuning of the device and any synthesiser with which it is used is made simple by the inclusion of a reference oscillator which provides a test tone input, with a switch to raise its pitch exactly one octave.
