Butterfly stroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The butterfly, (fly for short) is a swimming stroke swum on the breast, with the arms moving synchronously. Therefore, the butterfly arms with a breaststroke kick were used by a few swimmers in the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin for the breaststroke competitions. Butterfly, however, is unforgiving to mistakes in the style, and it is very difficult to overcome a bad butterfly style with brute strength. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Butterfly_stroke   (2156 words)

Stroke order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the following two examples, the leftmost vertical stroke () is written first, followed by the uppermost and rightmost lines (┐) (which are written as one stroke): 日 and 口. Stroke order can therefore refer to the numerical order in which strokes are written, or to the direction in which the writing instrument (brush, pen, or pencil) must move in writing a particular stroke. The rules for stroke order evolved to facilitate vertical writing, to maximize ease of writing and reading, to aid in producing uniform characters, and — since a person who has learned the rules can infer the stroke order of most characters — to ease the process of learning to write. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stroke_(Chinese_character)   (1175 words)

Stroke speed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stroke speed, in facsimile systems, is the rate at which a fixed line perpendicular to the direction of scanning is crossed in one direction by a scanning or recording spot. Stroke speed is usually expressed as a number of strokes per minute. When the system scans in both directions, the stroke speed is twice this number. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stroke_speed   (95 words)

Heat Stroke Heat stroke is distinguished from heat exhaustion by the presence of clinically significant tissue injury. The clinical outcome of patients with heat stroke is primarily a function of the magnitude and duration of temperature elevation. Rhabdomyolysis is a frequent acute complication of exertional heat stroke. www.usariem.army.mil /heatill/htstroke.htm   (1815 words)

Prescribing Transcendental Meditation - Stroke and Ischemic Attacks - The Effects Two fairly common deficits resulting from stroke are anosognosia, an inability to acknowledge the reality of the physical impairments resulting from stroke, and neglect, the loss of the ability to respond to objects or sensory stimuli located on one side of the body, usually the stroke-impaired side. The paralysis is usually on the side of the body opposite the side of the brain damaged by stroke, and may affect the face, an arm, a leg, or the entire side of the body. In some stroke patients, pathways for sensation in the brain are damaged, causing the transmission of false signals that result in the sensation of pain in a limb or side of the body that has the sensory deficit. www.rxtm.co.nz /cardiovascular_disease/stroke/stroke_effects.htm   (1463 words)

Two-stroke cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The simpler stroke in the fully valved diesel two-stroke cycle is the compression stroke; both valves are closed, and the rising piston compresses the air, heating it. Many modern two stroke engines employ a Power valve system. The two-stroke cycle of an internal combustion engine differs from the more common four-stroke cycle by having only two strokes (linear movements of the piston) instead of four, although the same four operations (intake, compression, power, exhaust) still occur. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Two-stroke_cycle   (1463 words)

stroke - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about stroke Strokes can sometimes be prevented by surgery (as in the case of some aneurysms), or by use of anticoagulant drugs or vitamin E or daily aspirin to minimize the risk of stroke due to blood clots. Strokes involving the right side of the brain, for example, produce weakness of the left side of the body. High blood pressure (hypertension) is also a precipitating factor – a worldwide study in 1995 estimated that high blood pressure before middle age gives a tenfold increase in the chance of having a stroke later in life. encyclopedia.farlex.com /stroke   (449 words)

Stroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ischemic stroke is usually caused by atherosclerosis (fatty lumps in the artery wall), embolism (obstruction of blood vessels by blood clots from elsewhere in the body), or microangiopathy (small artery disease, the occlusion of small cerebral vessels). As ischemic stroke is due to a thrombus (blood clot) occluding a cerebral artery, a patient is given anticoagulant medication (aspirin, clopidogrel, or warfarin, dependant on the cause) when this type of stroke has been found. In ischemic stroke, which occurs in approximately 90% of strokes, a blood vessel becomes occluded and the blood supply to part of the brain is totally or partially blocked. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cerebrovascular_accident   (3251 words)

Golf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia On longer holes the green is too far away to reach it with the first stroke, so that one or more strokes are played from the fairway (where the grass is cut so low that most balls can be easily played) or from the rough (uncut grass or ground not prepared at all). Penalty strokes are not actually strokes but penal points that are added to the score for violations of rules or for making use of relief procedures in certain situations. Foursomes can be played as match play or stroke play. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Golf   (3251 words)

Two-stroke cycle -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article The simpler stroke in the fully valved diesel two-stroke cycle is the compression stroke; both valves are closed, and the rising piston compresses the air, heating it. Two stroke engines mix lubricant with their fuel (either manually at refueling or by injecting oil into the fuel stream); this mixture lubricates the cylinder, crankshaft and connecting rod bearings. At the top of the stroke, (A heavy mineral oil used as fuel in diesel engines) diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder, where it ignites and burns. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/t/tw/two-stroke_cycle.htm   (2297 words)

Four-stroke cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The four-stroke cycle is more fuel-efficient and clean burning than the two-stroke cycle, but requires considerably more moving parts and manufacturing expertise and the resulting engine is larger and heavier than a two-stroke engine of comparable power output. On the first downward stroke (intake) of the piston, a mixture of fuel and air is drawn into the cylinder through the intake (inlet) port. The later-invented Wankel engine has four similar phases but is a rotary combustion engine rather than the much more usual, reciprocating engine of the four-stroke cycle. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/four-stroke_cycle   (1625 words)

Four Stroke Internal Combustion Engine During the power stroke, the volume occupied by the gases is increased because of the piston motion and no heat is transferred to the fuel/air mixture. The purpose of the exhaust stroke is to clear the cylinder of the spent exhaust in preparation for another ignition cycle. The engine cycle begins with the intake stroke as the piston is pulled towards the crankshaft (to the left in the figure). www.grc.nasa.gov /WWW/K-12/airplane/engopt.html   (1413 words)

Animated Engines, Otto Four Stroke The four strokes of the cycle are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The four stroke engine is probably the most common engine type nowadays. Larger four stroke engines usually include more than one cylinder, have various arrangements for the camshaft (dual, overhead, etc.), sometimes feature fuel injection, turbochargers, multiple valves, etc. None of these enhancements changes the basic operation of the engine. www.keveney.com /otto.html   (278 words)

Record - October 4, 2002 The patients all had experienced a stroke at least six months before participating in the study and still had damage near a brain region called Broca's area, which is located toward the front of the brain and thought to be involved in speech. Since the left side of the brain houses most of the areas responsible for speech and language, a left-sided stroke often causes language problems, a condition known as aphasia. According to Corbetta, these results indicate that a stroke produces complex changes in the way both sides of the brain perform during language tasks. record.wustl.edu /2002/10-04-02/stroke.html   (809 words)

Stroke - Frequently Asked Questions Statistically, two-thirds of strokes occur in individuals over the age of 65. When a stroke occurs in the right side of the brain, the left side of the body is more significantly affected and symptoms may include weakness or paralysis in the arm or leg. Strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States and each year 730,000 Americans experience a new or recurrent stroke. www.tbihelp.org /stroke.htm   (894 words)

Stroke one side of the brush through your paint so that half becomes saturated with paint. The comma stroke can be used to create an endless number of designs, such as the petals of mums or daisies, or a strokework border. www.decorativeartist.com /daw_reference.asp   (2592 words)

Learn to Swim the Side Stroke The object to the side stroke is efficiency - you should try to get across a 25m pool in as few strokes as possible. The side stroke is a relaxing and super efficient swim stroke. When you find yourself in deep water with a lot of distance to cover, the side stroke will serve you well. www.getfitnow.com /printer_48.html   (293 words)

BASIC TWO-STROKE TUNING The two common reed valve angles are 30 and 45 degrees. There are two techniques for stroking crankshafts; weld old hole and re-drill a new big end pin hole, or by installing an off-set big end pin. Turn down the cylinder base on a lathe to increase the effective stroke (distance from TDC to exhaust port opening). www.eric-gorr.com /techarticles/basic_two_stroke.html   (293 words)

National Stroke Stroke survivor Les Bissell began an amazing journey on April 20. An international online stroke survey was launched on September 27, 2004 to gauge the awareness of signs and symptoms of stroke, as well as differences in treatment options available in Europe, Canada and the United States. In an effort to get life-saving information to patients and to serve as a resource for busy health professionals, National Stroke Association has created "Ask Your Doctor," a public education campaign designed to increase communication between patients and primary care providers about stroke prevention and treatment. www.stroke.org   (293 words)

SpeedCoach; equipment for rowing crews & coaching. SpeedCoach; NK; Nielsen-Kellerman Co Stroke rate is determined either from changes in hull speed picked up by the speed sensor or from a seat switch (optional). The seat switch option allows the rate window to operate when no speed sensor is used and also ensures accurate stroke rate readings in situations which may temporarily affect speed and rate accuracy (rowing at ratings of 15 SPM or less or near power lines, bridges and other sources of electromagnetic interference). The display unit is waterproof, bouyant and durable and the speed sensor is low-drag and resistant to fouling. www.nkhome.com /rp/speedcoach/oldspeedcoach.html   (340 words)

Animated Engines Two Stroke Cycle The two stroke engine employs the crankcase as well as the cylinder to achieve all the elements of the Otto cycle in only two strokes of the piston. Unfortunately most two stroke engines are inefficient and are terrible polluters due to the amount of unspent fuel that escapes through the exhaust port. During the downward stroke the poppet valve is forced closed by the increased crankcase pressure. www.keveney.com /twostroke.html   (283 words)

BASIC TWO-STROKE TUNING There are two techniques for stroking crankshafts; weld old hole and re-drill a new big end pin hole, or by installing an off-set big end pin. In general, increasing the stroke of a crankshaft boosts the mid range power but decreases the engine's rpm peak. Turn down the cylinder base on a lathe to increase the effective stroke (distance from TDC to exhaust port opening). www.eric-gorr.com /techarticles/basic_two_stroke.html   (3165 words)

World Intellectual Property Organization Moreover, the load transmission paths from the piston to the connecting rod are not direct and during the expansion stroke this leads to considerable bending loads on the piston crown, the pin bosses, the gudgeon pin and the small end of the connecting rod. Thus, during the induction stroke, the relatively small load A (compared to gas forces during the combustion/expansion strokes) is transmitted from the piston to the gudgeon pin and thus to the connecting rod in essentially conventional fashion involving bending forces. A piston and connecting rod assembly as claimed in claim 16 in which the closure plate is flexible and the support means comprises a retaining groove on the inside of the skirt, which groove receives the outer edge of the closure plate and the plate is held in place by flexure of the plate. www.wipo.int /ipdl/IPDL-CIMAGES/view/pct/getbykey5?KEY=00/45069.010726&ELEMENT_SET=DECL   (3165 words)

Crankshafts Compensated are the stroke and the connecting rod-length by a 1,25mm footsealing. By that, the stroke is widened from 51mm to 53,5mm. In most cases you have to use a different connecting rod, as the diameter of the lower small end of the conrod has to be bigger because of the pin`s eccentricity, than in the original state (to get the lower bearing cage on the eccentric pin). www.worb5.com /tuning_kurbelwelle_e.html   (3165 words)

Patent 4167922: Internal ballistic engine The chamber 260, being in the compression stroke accumulates potential energy and therefore provides a major part of the energy accumulator and converter means. These strokes are staggered so that while one chamber executes a power stroke the other executes a fuel intake stroke. That is, each chamber undergoes through each of the strokes of the Otto cycle and each chamber while in the compression stroke also behaves as an energy accumulator chamber next to the chamber undergoing the power stroke. www.freepatentsonline.com /4167922.html   (3165 words)

Sheffer stroke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Sheffer stroke, , is the negation of the conjunction operator. Hence any formal system including the Sheffer stroke must also include a means of indicating grouping. The following is an example of a formal system based entirely on the Sheffer stroke, yet having the functional expressiveness of the propositional calculus: www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sheffer_stroke   (781 words)
