All airships use an envelope (balloon-like bag of gas) to lift the airship. Some used a metal "skeleton" or frame inside the envelope to give shape to the ship; these were called rigid airships, and examples included the R100 and R101 in England, the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg in Germany and the Akron, Macon and Los Angeles in the USA.

An airship, also known as a dirigible, is a powered lighter-than-air craft. In other words, an airship is an aircraft that derives its lift from a lifting gas (usually helium or hot air) while it is propelled forward by an engine.

There is a special pilot licence that is required for airships. In the USA the airship pilot rating was recently split into VFR (visual flight rules) and IFR (instrument flight rules) since modern airships are now able to fly under instrument flight conditions, i.e. at night or in the clouds. As for any other pilots licence, a special commercial rating has to be obtained for commercial flights. Virtually all airship pilots are professionals employed by commercial airship operators.

The rigid mat is double the thickness and has handles. You use the rigid mat to imprint the majority of the stamping job. The floppy has no handles and is about half the thickness of a rigid which allows you to bend the mat at a 90 degree angle. The floppy mat can be used to stamp around the edges of the stamping area, walls, stairs and hard to get at areas.

A rigid borescope uses a series of individual lenses or a long gradient index relay lens to relay the image of the objective lens to an image plane where the eye lens can magnify it and present it to the eye for viewing. A flexible borescope uses a coherent fiber bundle with thousands of individual fibers to relay the image from the objective to the eyepiece.

Semi-solids are like solds but don't make poly cuts into Solids. They do make cuts into each other though. Also they have a bad tendacy to cause collision errors in the map if they are often within the players touching range. They can also be used for decorational objects to avoid BSP holes. Non-solids are just that. Brushes that can be walked through. There can be some interesting uses for these. Actually there is.

All my cameras will shoot normal videos, and xray videos, some will not shoot normal color videos, please ask first if you have a question! Cameras that had the lens modified will shoot colors a little differently, with reds looking a little faded, and sometimes black will go grayish.

Universal Fit means that the seat cover will fit a wide range of seats without any modifications. This includes any high back bucket seats or low back bucket seats. The material of choice covers the seating area and the rest of the seat cover is made out of durable polyester. Semi-Custom Fit means modifications are done on the material to give the cover a very professional fit.

Original TTM 52 and TTM 54 models were built with metal toggle switches (ST 1) and a painted steel Decor plate (the one the faders stick through). When we revamped the design, we spread the controls apart slightly and added a Lexan covered Decor plate, as well as changed to larger plastic "bat handle" toggle switches (ST 2). Neither the Decor plate nor switches can be swapped between versions. Functionally and electronically the two versions are identical.

If you want your web space URL to be http://www.yourcompany.com then you will either need your own web server, or to rent a virtual server. The latter is really just space on someone else's web server which has been configured to respond to requests for your domain. This service is generally slightly more expensive than non-virtual web space, where you simply have a subdirectory on someone else's web server, and your URL incorporates their domain name, such as http://www.someprovider.

Unless you have several hundred thousand dollars to spend, you should probably consider building a radio-controlled airship or a manned hot air balloon instead. If the financial requirements do not deter you, a book called "Building Gas Blimps - A Practical Guide to Building Small Gas Blimps" by Robert J. Recks will provide you with more detail. The book is available for approximately US$80 directly from the author (e-mail r.recks@juno.com).

Yes, provided the following criteria are met. We recommend spaces of 25mm - 63mm (1" - 2 ½" approx.) between slats no wider than 63mm (2 ½" approx.). You should not use a solid plywood or hardwood base, as condensation will build up on the underside of the mattress due to lack of ventilation.

The type of the deformation is determinant for the compression performances of FAMC. For animations with rapid temporal variations and highly elastic deformations a complex skinning model (with high number of joints) is needed for the motion compensation step. Moreover, the transformed residual errors (by using either DCT, lifting, or layed-based decomposition) have a high entropy because of the low temporal correlations.

The difference between full auto and semi-auto, is that you get more shots per turn (the Rate of Fire number is the semi-automatic bursts or single shots you can fire in one turn, and the bracketed value is the maximum amount of shots you can take in full auto in one turn; Burst Fire Value is the amount of bullets fired in one burst), but the downside is the greater penality due to recoil; it's -4 intead of -2. There are harnesses that allows one to use full auto at only a -2 penalty.

Custom cabinets are the most flexible of the three options and give you the widest range of options. Manufacturers build custom cabinets on an order-by-order basis to meet the custom specifications of your space. There are countless options on the style, size and finish. Semi-custom cabinets are mid-priced and provide some flexibility when combined with stock items. There are more door styles, finishes, materials and options than with stock cabinetry, and some modifications are possible.

In short, a fully bespoke suit involves a baste stage (half-made suit) and is 100% hand-made and as a result costs around £3,000 when ordered from other tailors in Savile Row. A semi-bespoke suit is not 100% hand-made and is made to a straight finish (no baste, half made stage) and then altered afterwards and costs anything from £400 to £1200 depending on the quality of the tailor. A Jasper Littman personally tailored suit (semi-bespoke) starts from £595.

Semi is deposit only; you can change tone, cover gray or darken. Permanent hair color can do all that and lighten your color.

A custom cover is measured and made for a specific model and offered by the boat manufacturer as well as us. They often come with 'female' dome snaps installed, matched to 'male' dome snaps drilled into your boat. A semi-custom cover is designed to fit a certain style, length and beam of boat. This may include different models and manufacturers but will still provide an excellent fit.

A Private room means one person will be in that room. Two guests share a semi-private room. Many family members or friends book the room together, and there are times when two guests prefer to share a room with someone they haven’t met yet. Since we draw such interesting people, that has always worked great and longtime friendships have formed, often returning each year to share a room again.

This is a common question. It basically comes down to a matter of sizes, available options and price. Stock cabinets offer standard sizes (such as increments in widths of 3", or 15", 18", 21", etc.). Stock cabinets also offer less customization or available options, and they often (but not always) cost less. With semi-custom cabinets, you get a wider range of sizes (in width, depth, height, etc.

Rigid sigmoidoscopy has no longer the value it had in the past, before the advent of videocolonoscopy (flexible sigmoidoscopy). However, it may be still useful in ano-rectal diseases such as bleeding per rectum or inflammatory rectal disease, particularly in the general practice and pediatrics.

A rigid ring, once implanted, fixes the valve in a specific shape. A flexible ring, once implanted, allows the valve to take whatever shape is natural for it and probably can conform to the changes in shape and position of the left atrioventricular junction during the cardiac cycle. Either can be used for mitral valve repair, it is surgeon preference on which they implant. Carbomedics offers both rigid and flexible rings. AnnuloFlo is rigid and AnnuloFlex is flexible.

Non-inline phones provide all the basic functionality and benefits of the other Meridian sets. These phones require a power board and transformer when adding an add-on module. Inline power phones have an enhanced display and built in power board. You no longer need to purchase a power board or transformer if you require an add-on module or display.

The parts of the artificial hip may either be fixed to bone with a substance called Methyl Methacrylate (Bone cement), or they are pressfit in the bone with capacity for the bone to stick to the parts. This Uncemented hip is used mainly for younger individuals.

You should tell your breeder if you are looking for a conformation show puppy or a companion/pet puppy. Most good breeders consider ALL of their puppies to be companion puppies, and Border Terrier people will tell you that Borders can do it all-obedience, agility, earthdog, tracking, flyball, therapy dog, etc.. A conformation show puppy is one whose physical characteristics and temperament meet or exceed the requirements of the breed standard.

Definition of ablate from dictionary.com: "To remove by erosion, melting, evaporation, or vaporization." Ablative lasers are much more invasive than non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers are not recommended for use on darker skin colors. Non ablative lasers do not remove layers of skin, but instead penetrate through the skin in an attempt to stimulate collagen growth from underneath the surface of the skin. Non-ablative lasers are detailed later in this document.

The earlier units only had 1/4" inputs and outputs. Inputs are fully balanced, outputs are single-ended (some say "quasi-balanced") auto balancee/unbalanced. Ability to drive longer cables is less and high frequency rolloff can be a concern due to cable capacitance. Around 1994 we updated the design and changed to the "B" designation. These units have fully balanced inputs and outputs, both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections being utilized. Functionally the units are virtually identical.
