  TheDraftReview - POWER FORWARD
Power forwards play a role similar to that of center in what is called the "post" or "low blocks".
Power forwards can be imposing presences on defense, but they usually defer to the center in terms of blocking shots and general intimidation.
In the NBA, a typical power forward is between 6'8" and 7'0" (2.03 to 2.13 m) in height and 230 to 260 pounds (105 to 120 kg) in weight, and is often asked to play center in specific game situations or when a particular team lacks a taller player.

Calculate the peak voltages in the forward and backward wave, and by adding and subtracting these determine the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) which is the ratio of peak ac voltage on the line to minimum ac voltage on the line as we move along the line.
The peak voltage in the forward wave is sqrt(2) times 25 or 35.36 volts; the peak voltage in the backward wave is sqrt(2) times 11.72 or 16.57 volts.

Willis asserted that Power Forward also intends to be "quick, open and inclusive."

Willis insisted Power Forward is in fact open to other EDA vendors, and she said Cadence does not hold veto power.
Despite the addition of the Power Forward advisory group, "there is no acceleration for when an EDA vendor can see the spec, and there is no change in the ability to influence that first spec," said Rich Goldman, vice president for strategic market development at Synopsys.

 Welcome to HoopTactics.com
Since Power's initial attack is down the middle, it attacks both sides of the defense simultaneously making defensive help nearly impossible.
In fact, many teams will automatically flow into the "Power" action whenever their initial set offense breaks down, and will even call their power action "Motion." Continuous motion is created when the point guard passes to either wing and screens away.
Since the Power Offense involves continuous screening action on both sides of the court, if any of the defenders get hung up on a single screen it will most certainly result in a wide open shot for the opponent's best shooters.

  Forward Stroking For Greater Efficiency- Speedskating Santa Barbara
The passive forward stroke has as its goal the regaining of the 50% of the stroke energy which was directed sideways.
The advantage of the active forward stroke is that you can skate up to small angles, not too far from straight ahead, and still react against the ground for power generation but not develop a lot of sideways energy to cut your efficiency.
Because of this limitation the amount of forward push is not too great and is best used briefly -- for example as the termination of a standard sideways push to develop additional forward thrust (see drawings here).

 Power forward (hockey)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
A power forward in the sport of hockey is usually a winger, though at times a center can also be given that tag.
Power forwards tend to be large and muscular (6'0 - 6'3, 210-230 pounds) with the mobility to track a puck to the corners and the puckhandling skills to get it back to anyone in front of the net.
Thus, a true power forward is rare and is usually blessed with a very high skill level, and are fan favorites for those that like the rougher side of hockey.

 Feed-forward microwave power amplifier with difference signal distortion cancellation circuit - Patent 4629996
A microwave power amplifier according to claim 1, wherein said adjusting means comprises a directional coupler and an attenuator for providing said signal having said level S.sub.1 from an output of said first amplifier means, and an auxiliary amplifier means for providing said signal having said level S.sub.2 from an output of said divider means.
When a number of signals are transmitted by a single power amplifier, an undesirable intermodulaton occurs due to the non-linear characteristics of the power amplifier which operates close to the saturation output power level, and so, the ratio of the desired signal power to the undersired power is decreased.
The prior feed forward system has still a further disadvantage that a trouble of a main amplifier makes the system transmitting power one fourth, and if the auxiliary amplifier output power is the same as that of the main amplifier, the system operation becomes too difficult to maintain the communication link.

 Configuring Forward Channel Power Levels and Walsh Codes
In addition to the walsh codes and power levels that can be set or queried for the forward code channels, some channels also have other settings, such as F-FCH/Traffic channel data rate, etc. Forward Code Channels for IS-2000 and IS-95 Systems provides you the reference to the configuration information relating to the specific code channels.
The relative power of the channels that are being generated at any given time must sum to 100% of the cell power.
Because the relative power levels of the different channels must add up to a 100% of the cell power, the test set performs an error checking of the code channel levels, called code level summation check.
