The adaptive shift process refers to the continual comparison of key shift parameters to pre-programmed 'ideal' shift conditions. The transmission controls then make hydraulic adjustments to assure the key shift parameters approach the ideal shift profile the next time the shift is made for similar operating conditions of vehicle rpm, engine load, and road load conditions. The adaptive shift process continues for the life of the vehicle to provide consistent and optimized shifts.

A process by which a system changes from one state to another by gradual steps. The system 'walks' across the fitness landscape, each step is assumed to lead to an improvement in the performance of the system against some criteria (adaptation).

Adaptive behavior is the collection of conceptual, social, and practical skills that people have learned so they can function in their everyday lives. Significant limitations in adaptive behavior impact a person's daily life and affect the ability to respond to a particular situation or to the environment. Limitations in adaptive behavior can be determined by using standardized tests that are normed on the general population including people with disabilities and people without disabilities.

test-takers respond to "questions", a computer-adaptive test "adapts" itself to test-takers by selecting the next item to be presented on the basis of performance on preceding items.

People frequently contact us to ask how they can purchase the adaptive babycare equipment they have seen in some of our publications or videos or heard about during one of our presentations. Unfortunately most of this equipment has not been mass produced and cannot be purchased at this time.

The Edith Ball Adaptive Recreation Center (ARC) is a fully accessible, state-of-the-art facility that offers both specialized and inclusive programs for persons with disabilities as well as general use participants. The facility contains two pools. The heated outdoor recreational pool, covered by a large shade structure, has a zero-depth entry, a “sprayground” water feature, four lap lanes, and a walking channel with a current to provide resistance during water walking exercise.

Adaptive Technology is the use of technology to provide equal access to information. ATS offers adaptive support services for students with disabilities such as, textbook scanning, adaptive software, and many other adaptive technology services.

Adaptive reuse is the conversion of a building for a use other than that for which it was originally intended. Ideally, such conversions retain the architectural integrity of the building's exterior while making compatible adaptations to the interior which accommodate the needs of the building's adaptive use. Buildings which have been adapted for new uses include, for example, historic school buildings and industrial buildings that have been converted to housing, offices, or other uses.

adaptive test automatically mimics a wise examiner who asks questions based on test takers' responses. Specifically, if an examiner asks a question that is too difficult for the test taker, the next question asked should be easier. If the question turns out to be too easy, a more difficult question should be asked. We learn more when we accurately direct our questions at the same level as the test taker's proficiency.

This is a test where the computer selects questions for you according to how well you have answered previous questions. In other words, the questions adapt to the level of the student. The CBT includes a large bank of test questions, covering all levels of ability from Beginner to Very Advanced. The questions are displayed on-screen, and students respond using the keyboard and mouse. As each question is answered, the computer assesses the response and selects the next question.

Adaptive Modeler is a tool to create agent-based market simulation models for price forecasting of real world stocks, ETFs or other market traded securities.

Adaptive de-interlacing is a more advanced algorithm that looks at a sequence of frames to determine if an area is still or in motion. For pixels that are still, the fields are simply combined without a blend. If in motion, the fields are blended together. This produces the best visual results but is more computationally intensive. NVDVD is able to perform adaptive de-interlacing in hardware, which keeps the CPU from performing this intensive task.

You don't need to clutch; the game has a semi-automatic clutch which disengages automatically when you shift. However, the engine can be damaged by over-revving. You can and probably will damage the engine if you speed shift; you must lift out of the throttle a little just after you touch the shifter switch, so that the engine does not zing to redline. Once the next gear engages, you can floor the throttle again. You don't need to use the clutch, which is really only for starts.

Reality shifts happen most spectacularly for me when I'm experiencing life from my heart, rather than my head. When I feel full of love, I have fewer accidents and mishaps, and I see my wishes come true right before my eyes. Sometimes there's a time delay, or I'll simply notice lots of synchronicities and coincidences, as if everything I'm wishing for in the back of my mind starts coming true!

Bidirectional level shifters can shift signals between 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V. They can also translate between HSTL, SSTL and LVCMOS logic standards.

The adaptive dimension is the concept that a teacher may make adjustments in the approved educational program (regular, modified or alternate) to accommodate the diverse learning needs of the students in their classes. The teacher may adjust the curriculum, instruction and/or the learning environment. The adaptive dimension means school change to improve the educational system for all students.

The adaptive immune system produces a specific response in response to an infective agent. This specific response is in the form of antibodies, which are produced to neutralize the invading agent. A very important feature of the adaptive immune system is that it involves memory, in that gives rise to resistance to repeated exposure or infection by the same invading agent.

I am a therapy assistant and am looking for information on feeding utensils or techniques for a 4-year-old child who is blind. I am searching for a line of apparel designed for women with disabilities, especially those with difficulty raising their arms.

The following technologies are available in the Adaptive Technology Center: screen reader software programs such as Kurzweil 1000 and Jaws; text enlarger programs such as ZoomText; and a closed-captioned video player.
