  2. Hours of service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hours_of_service

    After accumulating, for example, 70 hours of driving and on-duty time within a period of 8 days, a driver's daily driving limit may be reduced (70 / 8 = 8.75 driving hours per day). A driver may be allowed (but not required) to take 34 hours off-duty to reset the weekly total back to zero (also known as a "34-hour restart").

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagenary_cycle

    Sexagenary cycle. The sexagenary cycle, also known as the stems-and-branches or ganzhi ( Chinese: 干支 ), is a cycle of sixty terms, each corresponding to one year, thus a total of sixty years for one cycle, historically used for recording time in China and the rest of the East Asian cultural sphere and Southeast Asia.

  4. UK railway signalling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_railway_signalling

    The railway signalling system used across the majority of the United Kingdom rail network uses lineside signals to control the movement and speed of trains. The modern-day system mostly uses two, three, and four aspect colour-light signals using track circuit – or axle counter – block signalling. [1] [2] It is a development of the original ...

  5. Nested RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels

    Nested RAID levels are usually numbered using a series of numbers, where the most commonly used levels use two numbers. The first number in the numeric designation denotes the lowest RAID level in the "stack", while the rightmost one denotes the highest layered RAID level; for example, RAID 50 layers the data striping of RAID 0 on top of the ...

  6. Air quality index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_quality_index

    An air quality index ( AQI) is an indicator developed by government agencies [1] to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become. [2] [3] As air pollution levels rise, so does the AQI, along with the associated public health risk. Children, the elderly and individuals with respiratory or ...

  7. Rail speed limits in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_speed_limits_in_the...

    Railroads also implement their own limits and enforce speed limits. Speed restrictions are based on a number of factors including curvature, signaling, track condition, and the presence of grade crossings. Like road speed limits in the United States, speed limits for tracks and trains are measured in miles per hour (mph).

  8. Rolls-Royce Merlin - Wikipedia

    Rolls-Royce Meteor. The Rolls-Royce Merlin is a British liquid-cooled V-12 piston aero engine of 27-litre (1,650 cu in) capacity. Rolls-Royce designed the engine and first ran it in 1933 as a private venture. Initially known as the PV-12, it was later called Merlin following the company convention of naming its four-stroke piston aero engines ...

  9. Tanabe–Sugano diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabe–Sugano_diagram

    From the high-spin (left) side of the d 7 Tanabe–Sugano diagram, the ground state is 4 T 1 (F), and the spin multiplicity is a quartet. The diagram shows that there are three quartet excited states: 4 T 2, 4 A 2, and 4 T 1 (P). From the diagram one can predict that there are three spin-allowed transitions.
