Chute (gravity)
A chute is a vertical or inclined plane, channel, or passage through which objects are moved by means of gravity. Landform A chute, also known as a race, flume, cat, or river canyon, is a steep-sided passage through which water flows rapidly. Akin to these, man-made chutes, such as the timber slide and log flume, were used in the logging industry to facilitate the downstream transportation of timber along rivers. These are no longer in common use. Man-made chutes may also be a feature of spillways on some dams. Some types of water supply and irrigation systems are gravity fed, hence chutes. These include aqueducts, puquios, and acequias. Building chute Chutes are in common use in tall buildings to allow the rapid transport of items from the upper floors to a central location on one of the lower floors or basement. Chutes may be round, square or rectangular at the top and/or the bottom. * Laundry chutes in hotels are placed on each floor to allow the expedient transfer and col ...

Rivière Des Chutes (Batiscan River Tributary)
The Rivière des Chutes (''English: River of the Falls'') drains mainly the municipality of Saint-Narcisse, and also Saint-Stanislas, at the end of its course. These municipalities are located in the Les Chenaux Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in the province of Quebec, Canada. The Rivière des Chutes flows over (including 1.7 km in Saint-Stanislas at the end of it path) and drains a watershed of an area of (including watershed Sanschagrin stream, in Saint-Stanislas).

Cattle Race
A cattle chute (North America) or cattle race ( Australia, British Isles and New Zealand) also called a run or alley, is a narrow corridor built for cattle that separates them from the rest of the herd and allows handlers and veterinarians to provide medical care or restrain the animal for other procedures. A conventional cattle chute consists of parallel panels or fences with a space between them that is slightly wider than one animal so they are unable to turn around. Cattle chutes gently restrain the animal using a squeeze mechanism. The chute is connected to an alley, forming the animals into a queue that only allows them to go forward. Cattle tubs or a BudBox can also be used to help with animal flow and maintailow-stress cattle handlingprinciples. It is used for routine husbandry activities such as drafting (sorting) or loading animals via ramp or ''loading chute'' into a vehicle; placing them one at a time in a ''cattle crush'' (variations also called a ''squeeze chute'' or ...

Squeeze Chute
A cattle crush (in UK, New Zealand, Ireland, Botswana and Australia), squeeze chute (North America), cattle chute (North America), standing stock, or simply stock (North America, Ireland) is a strongly built stall or cage for holding cattle, horses, or other livestock safely while they are examined, marked, or given veterinary treatment. Cows may be made to suckle calves in a crush. For the safety of the animal and the people attending it, a close-fitting crush may be used to ensure the animal stands "stock still". The overall purpose of a crush is to hold an animal still to minimise the risk of injury to both the animal and the operator while work on the animal is performed. Construction Crushes were traditionally manufactured from wood; this, however, was prone to deterioration from the elements over time, as well as having the potential to splinter and cause injury to the animal. In recent years, most budget-quality crushes have been built using standard heavy steel pipe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chute (racecourse)
In horse racing, a chute is an extended path increasing the length of a straight portion of a racecourse, particularly an oval-shaped one, allowing races of a specified distance to start at a location other than on one of the turns. For example, many racetracks in the United States are exactly in circumference; often such racetracks are symmetrical ovals, with both straightaways and both turns being precisely of a mile (402 m). Frequently, the finish line will be positioned exactly three-quarters of the way down the stretch; in that case, the point at which the first or "clubhouse" turn joins to the backstretch would be 5 furlongs (1,106 m) from the finish. In order to hold races at the distance of – the most common distance of American thoroughbred horse races – the backstretch is extended by an extra 1/16 of a mile (101 m). This is the most common situation where a chute is pressed into service. At some tracks, this chute is longer, so that races can be ru ...

Pilot Chute
A pilot chute is a small auxiliary parachute used to deploy the main or reserve parachute. The pilot chute is connected by a bridle to the deployment bag containing the parachute. Pilot chutes are a critical component of all modern skydiving and BASE jumping gear. Pilot chutes are also used as a component of spacecraft such as NASA's Orion. Deployment methods Spring-loaded The spring-loaded pilot chute is used in conjunction with a ripcord. When the user pulls the ripcord, the container opens, allowing the pilot chute compressed inside and loaded with a large spring inside it to jump out. Spring-loaded pilot chutes are mainly used to deploy reserve parachutes. They are often also used to deploy the main parachute on skydiving students' parachute equipment. They are also commonly used in drogue parachute in cars or in planes such as the B52 Bomber. Pull-out The pull-out and throw-out pilot chutes are identical in construction; the difference is in their connection to th ...

Chute! (television Programme)
''Chute!'' is a British children's comedy television series broadcast on CBBC and presented by Ross Lee. It was originally broadcast between September and December 2007 and was cancelled after its first series. Lee played a version of himself trapped inside a rubbish tip at BBC Television Centre containing approximately 83,000 video cassettes covering the floor of the room. Overview Trapped in a rubbish tip with approximately 83,000 video cassettes, Lee's sole purpose seems to be to sort through the videos and share them with whoever comes to visit him (the viewer in this case – the episodes are shown through their point of view in first-person). According to the series' title theme, the viewer is a child that fell down the chute while taking part in a tour of the BBC Television Centre. Down in the rubbish tip is also a monster who, at the end of every episode, drags away and "eats" the viewer. Although the monster can't be seen directly a green tentacle with purple spots is ...

Pont Des Chutes
The pont des Chutes is a covered bridge in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Canada. Among the last in Quebec, 34 covered bridges were constructed in Abitibi, and are associated with the colonisation of the region in the early 1900s. Today fewer than half of them are extant. The single-lane bridge is of Lattice truss bridge design. This design was modified by the Quebec Ministry of Colonisation and was used for more than 500 covered bridges in Quebec. Built in 1954, it was severely damaged in 1961 and again in 1964 when the central pillar failed. The capacity was 8 tonnes. It is so named because of the rapids (chutes) underneath it. The bridge does not benefit from any provincial or municipal protection. References See also * List of covered bridges in Quebec In 2012 in Quebec, there were 82 covered bridges down from more than 1,200 in the early 1900s.
