Battery Electric Bus
A battery electric bus is an electric bus that is driven by an electric motor and obtains energy from on-board batteries. Many trolleybuses use batteries as an auxiliary or emergency power source. In 2018, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found that total operating costs per mile of an electric bus fleet and a diesel bus fleet in the United States are about equal. History The London Electrobus Company started running the first ever service of battery-electric buses between London's Victoria station and Liverpool Street on 15 July 1907. However, the weight and inefficiency of batteries meant that other propulsion technology - such as electric trolleybuses or diesel buses - became commonplace. The first battery buses were mostly small, mini- or midi- buses. The improvement of battery technology from around 2010 led to the emergence of the battery bus, including heavier units such as standard buses and articulated buses. China was the first country to int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beach Erosion Board
The Beach Erosion Board (BEB) was a federal board organized under the US Government's War Department (later, the Department of Defense), U.S. Army, and was a part of the civil works program of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The Board had seven members and a large staff. The life of the BEB spanned a period of 33 years, beginning with its establishment in July 1930. The BEB was abolished in November 1963.

Exponential Backoff
Exponential backoff is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process, in order to gradually find an acceptable rate. These algorithms find usage in a wide range of systems and processes, with radio networks and computer networks being particularly notable. Exponential backoff algorithm An exponential backoff algorithm is a form of closed-loop control system that reduces the rate of a controlled process in response to adverse events. Each time an adverse event is encountered, the rate of the process is reduced by some multiplicative factor. Examples of adverse events include collisions of network traffic, an error response from a service, or an explicit request to reduce the rate (i.e. "back off"). The rate reduction can be modelled as an exponential function: :t = b^c or :f = \frac Here, is the time delay applied between actions, is the multiplicative factor or "base", is the number of adverse events observed, and is the frequen ...
