  Quickstep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quickstep is an International Style ballroom dance that follows a 2/4 or 4/4 time beat similar to a fast Foxtrot.
The Quickstep evolved in the 1920s from a combination of the Foxtrot and the Charleston, as bands started to play music which was too quick to make large open leg movements which the Foxtrot required.
Quite in contrast to the slowfox or the waltz, the quickstep often has patterns or sequences that have a duration of multiples of measures as well as containing patterns with an extra half measure, creating a shift of the emphasis from beat ONE to beat THREE and vice versa.

 QUICKSTEP TECHNOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The costs of a Quickstep plant in terms of its performance and production capacity is significantly lower than the cost of large aerospace autoclaves, thus reducing capital equipment and start-up costs in comparison with the costs of large aerospace autoclaves.
As a consequence of the relatively low pressures (1 to 4psi) being exerted on the mould the costs of mould tools are considerably cheaper than moulds utilised in autoclaves that have to withstand significant pressure.
With its unique vibration system the Quickstep process removes air pockets in the lay-up and it is possible for many layers of laminate to be laid up at once resulting in fewer 'debulking' steps being required to compress the laminate and remove the entrapped air.

 Quickstep Signs European Deal For Composites Process Development
The Quickstep pilot production facility to be delivered to UMIST will be the third fully automated machine to be deployed internationally by Quickstep, with one facility already operating in Geelong, Australia and another to be delivered shortly to one of the world's leading auto-makers in Japan.
Quickstep's CEO, Mr Nick Noble, said the NATEC agreement represented another important advance in the continuing development of the Quickstep Process, representing its first exposure to the European market and laying the foundations for the potential evolution of a major international research collaboration in the future.
Instead of using a large, capital intensive autoclave to cure the composites, Quickstep uses fluid curing through a lightweight rigid mould suspended in heat transfer fluids; by contrast, traditional autoclaves involve the use of compressed gases at high temperature and pressures in large, sealed pressurised ovens.

Quickstep is one of the Australian technologies that will be on show at the Hannover Fair in Germany from April 23 - 28, 2001.
Quickstep achieves this superior performance on larger parts with faster cycle times, at far lower pressures of 1 to 4 psi compared to autoclaves which operate at 60 to 200 psi and at lower labour costs than alternative aerospace grade production systems.
In addition to working with two aerospace companies, Quickstep Technologies and CSIRO will invite members of the automotive and marine industries to participate in the development of the process to meet their specific needs.

 Quickstep: An Architecture-Conscious DBMS
The approach consists of novel data storage techniques that can incrementally and transparently adapt the layout of data to better utilize the processor caches, cache-conscious indexing techniques for both traditional alphanumeric data and richer data types such as spatial data, and cache-conscious query evaluation and scheduling techniques.
This project will be used to foster collaborative research between the computer architecture and database faulty at the University of Michigan, and to expose graduate students in both these areas to research issues at the intersection of these two areas.
The first year of this project will be spent building a storage manager for Quickstep, and investigating alternative data storage and indexing techniques that can efficiently leverage the features provided by modern processors.
