Escapement The "tourbillon" was invented to minimize this: the balance and spring is put in a cage which rotates (typically but not necessarily, once a minute), smoothing gravitational distortions. This very clever and sophisticated clock-work is a prized complication in wristwatches, even though the natural movement o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=610582 | 421,381 |

Jim Crow economy When customers that had existing policies tried to purchase additional coverage from their local agent, at times when the company had stopped soliciting policies in that area, they were told they could travel to a regional office to make their purchase (Heen 2009:390-391). From 1896, scientific racism ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=27252985 | 510,798 |
Lead service line In modern times, lead was still widely used in water distribution systems and plumbing hardware before the early 20th century, including lead pipes, leaded solder and leaded alloys. One part of the systems is the connections between the water mains and the water user locations. A service line is a pip... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=62013067 | 351,344 |
Video coding format Motion-compensated DCT later became the standard coding technique for video compression from the late 1980s onwards. The first digital video coding standard was H.120, developed by the CCITT (now ITU-T) in 1984. H.120 was not usable in practice, as its performance was too poor. H.120 used motion-com... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=33402026 | 413,475 |
Stephan Swanson came to prominence as a marine researcher when he successfully placed the satellite transmitter on the famous Great white shark Nicole, the first great white shark ever to be tracked on a 20,000 kilometer migration from South Africa to Australia and back.

Bunding Plastic tanks cannot hold very dense liquids at high wall levels. Large, exposed bunding will need a sump pump or some other system to remove precipitation, though it may also be used to transfer spilled liquid into another container. Rainwater must be treated if the liquid being stored is toxic because there m... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=3755953 | 310,812 |
