Orphan date February 2011 File Wpa logo sm.jpg Wind Powering America Wind Powering America WPA is an initiative of the US Department of Energy United States Department of Energy DOE that seeks to increase the use of wind energy throughout the United States. WPA collaborates with key state and regional stakeholders, including farmers, ranchers, Native Americans, rural electric cooperatives, consumer owned utilities, and schools to break down barriers associated with wind energy development. History Formed in 1999 by DOE s EERE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EERE , WPA s original goals were to ul li Meet 5 of the nation s energy needs with wind energy by 2020 i.e., 80,000 megawatts MW installed li li Double the number of states with more than 20 MW of wind capacity to 16 by 2005 and triple that number to 24 by 2010 li li Increase wind s contribution to federal electricity use to 5 by 2010. li ul Conceived as a national public private partnership, WPA s methodology was to work with organizations, typically state based Wind Working Groups, and other stakeholders to provide information and direct technical assistance to support the responsible implementation of wind technologies. ref Flowers, L.

Simplex signaling SX is Signalling telecommunication signaling in which two conductors are used for a single channel communications channel , and a center tapped coil, or its equivalent, is used to split the signaling current equally between the two conductors. The return path for the current is ground return through ground . It is distinct from a phantom circuit in which the return current path for power or signaling is provided through different signal conductors. SX signaling may be one way, for intra central office use, or the simplex legs may be connected to form full duplex signaling circuits that function like composite CX signaling circuits with E&M lead control. Simplex is also used to describe a powering method where one or more signal conductors carries direct current to power a remote device, which sends its output signal back on the same conductor. Phantom powering as used in Sound recording and reproduction audio is a form of simplex powering, as the return current flows through the ground or shield conductor.

In mathematics , in the realm of group theory , a power automorphism of a group mathematics group is an automorphism that takes each subgroup of the group to within itself. It is worth noting that the power automorphism of an infinite group may not restrict to an automorphism on each subgroup. For instance, the automorphism on rational numbers that sends each number to its double is a power automorphism even though it does not restrict to an automorphism on each subgroup. Alternatively, power automorphisms are characterized as automorphisms that send each element of the group to some power of that element. This explains the choice of the term power . The power automorphisms of a group form a subgroup of the whole automorphism group . This subgroup is denoted as math Pot G math where math G math is the group. A universal power automorphism is a power automorphism where the power to which each element is raised is the same. For instance, each element may go to its cube. Here are some facts about the powering index The powering index must be relatively prime to the order of each element. In particular, it must be relatively prime to the order group theory order of the group, if the group is finite. If the group is abelian group abelian , any powering index works. If the powering index 2 or 1 works, then the group is abelian. The group of power automorphisms commutes with the group of inner automorphism s when viewed as subgroups of the automorphism group. Thus, in particular, power automorphisms that are also inner must arise as conjugacy class conjugations by elements in the second group of the upper central series .

mergeto Hot swapping date June 2011 Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Computer components are usually described as coldpluggable if the computer system must be powered down to add or remove them. The opposite term is hot swapping hotpluggable hotpluggable components can be added or removed without powering down the computer. In most computer systems, Central processing unit CPU s and Computer memory memory are coldpluggable, but it is common for high end servers and Mainframe computer mainframes to feature hotplug capability of these components. Sometimes, devices that would be hotpluggable may appear to only be coldpluggable because of deficiencies in the Operating system system software . For example, PS 2 connector PS 2 pointer devices are generally hotpluggable although they are not designed to be , but Microsoft Windows 95 and related operating systems would commonly have to be rebooted every time a PS 2 computer mouse mouse was replaced, in order to detect the new mouse. Similarly, systems which were intended to be hot pluggable, such as the RS232 serial interface, are in practice only cold pluggable due to limitations of the connector ultimately chosen for the interface in this case the 25 or 9 pin D style connector. Dubious claim without citation As mentioned in the article on hot swap , the terms hot plug and cold plug , can be taken to mean two different things, depending on the context. In a more generic context, hot plug is the ability to add or remove hardware without powering down the system, while cold plug is the inability to do so. In the context of comparing certain hot pluggable devices, however, hot plug can be taken to mean the ability of the system to autonomously detect the addition or removal of hardware as it occurs, while cold plug can be taken to mean the ability to add or remove devices without powering down or rebooting the system, but the inability of the system to detect these changes, in which case the system operator woul ... more details
Z Stoff pronounced zed stoff or zee stoff was a name for calcium permanganate or potassium permanganate mixed in water. It was normally used as a catalyst for T Stoff high test peroxide in military rocket programs by Nazi Germany during World War II . Z Stoff was used in the cold engine of the Messerschmitt Me 163 Messerschmitt Me 163 A airplane and in several early guided missiles. T Stoff decomposed by Z Stoff was commonly used by World War II German military to generate steam for powering of fuel pumps in airplanes and rockets. The reaction produces manganese dioxide , which tends to clog the steam generators. Later generations used solid state catalyst instead of its water solution. http www.walter rockets.i12.com walter me163a.htm See also List of Stoffs rocket stub Category Rocket propellants fr Z Stoff ... more details
