Lift-off (microtechnology)
{{Refimprove, date=June 2011 The lift-off process in microstructuring technology is a method of creating structures (patterning) of a target material on the surface of a substrate (e.g. wafer) using a sacrificial material (e.g. photoresist). It is an additive technique as opposed to more traditional subtracting technique like etching. The scale of the structures can vary from the nanoscale up to the centimeter scale or further, but are typically of micrometric dimensions. Process An inverse pattern is first created in the sacrificial stencil layer (ex. photoresist), deposited on the surface of the substrate. This is done by etching openings through the layer so that the target material can reach the surface of the substrate in those regions, where the final pattern is to be created. The target material is deposited over the whole area of the wafer, reaching the surface of the substrate in the etched regions and staying on the top of the sacrificial layer in the regions, where ...

Flame Lift-off
Flame lift-off in oil fired pressure jet burners is an unwanted condition in which the flame and burner become separated. This condition is most commonly created by excessive combustion air and often results in the loss of flame as the photoelectric cell fails to register the light of the flame, this in turn results in a safety lockout of the control box. Other outcomes Other outcomes may be experienced: – # There may be delayed ignition as the oil spray is too far forward for the electrodes to ignite, only when the oil spray has filled the combustion chamber will the mixture ignite. In this condition it is likely that the excessive volume of unburnt oil will ignite with explosive ignition. # The oil mixture will fail to ignite resulting in safety lockout of the control box. # The oil mixture will ignite but may burn very inefficiently due to excessive air chilling of the oil particles to the point where complete combustion of the oil is not possible.

Takeoff
Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aerospace vehicle leaves the ground and becomes airborne. For aircraft traveling vertically, this is known as liftoff. For aircraft that take off horizontally, this usually involves starting with a transition from moving along the ground on a runway. For balloons, helicopters and some specialized fixed-wing aircraft (VTOL aircraft such as the Harrier and the Bell Boeing V22 Osprey), no runway is needed. Horizontal Power settings For light aircraft, usually full power is used during takeoff. Large transport category (airliner) aircraft may use a reduced power for takeoff, where less than full power is applied in order to prolong engine life, reduce maintenance costs and reduce noise emissions. In some emergency cases, the power used can then be increased to increase the aircraft's performance. Before takeoff, the engines, particularly piston engines, are routinely run up at high power to check for engine-related problems. The air ...

Lift-off Oversteer
Lift-off oversteer (also known as snap-oversteer, trailing-throttle oversteer, throttle off oversteer, or lift-throttle oversteer) is a form of oversteer in automobiles that occurs while cornering when closing the throttle causes a deceleration, causing the vertical load on the tires to shift from the rear to the front, in a process called load transfer. This decrease in vertical load on the rear tires causes a decrease in the lateral force they generate, so that their lateral acceleration (into the corner) is also decreased. This causes the vehicle to steer more tightly into the turn, hence oversteering. In other words, easing off the accelerator can cause the rear tires to lose traction, with the potential for the car to leave the road tail first. Dynamics The graphs to the right show the simulated effect of lifting off the throttle in the middle of a left turn. The transients in the first couple of seconds are due to the test, in which a step steer input (wheel angle) is appli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lift Off (sculpture)
Lift Off is a public artwork by American artist David Black, located at the CityVista Condominium at the intersection of 5th St NW & K St NW in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood of Washington, D.C., United States. ''Lift Off'' was created through DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Description ''Lift Off'' is a yellow, canopy like, abstract sculpture that sits on the corner of the CityVista building in front of Busboys and Poets. A welded (3/8-inch x 1/2-inch) aluminum plate with four crossbeams form the main skeleton of the work. Each crossbeam features a small floodlight on the end which illuminates the scallop like, origami inspired parts. A small love seat A loveseat can be one of two styles of two-seat chair. One form – also known as "British two-seaters" – is essentially synonymous with "two-seat couch". It typically has two upholstered seats. Another form, variously also known a ... is placed at the central base for visitors to relax and i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lift Off (Australian TV Series)
''Lift Off'' was an Australian children's television series that was developed and produced by Patricia Edgar and broadcast on ABC Television from 1992 until the series ended in 1995. Each episode featured a live action storyline about a group of young children, and the problems they encountered with growing up, their parents, and various other social issues. Episodes would also feature segments of short animation, puppetry and documentary segments, as well as various songs, stories, and word games. Aimed at 3- to 8-year-olds, the series was linked with the school curricula through the Curriculum Corporation of Australia. The different episodes used stories and locations to explore subjects such as jealousy, loneliness and anger. The puppet characters were designed by illustrator Terry Denton and were constructed by the sculptor Ron Mueck. Plot The central focus on the program is the child actors who are aged between 4 and 10 years.Australian Children's Television Foundation, ...

Lift Off With Ayshea
''Lift Off with Ayshea'' is a British TV show, produced by Granada Television for the ITV network, and starring Ayshea Brough, which ran for 122 editions spanning eight series, between November 1969 and December 1974. Preceded by the show ''Discotheque'' which had been hosted by Dianne Greaves, the replacement was originally entitled ''Lift Off'' and was aired in the children's programming schedule, but was seen by many as ITV's junior answer to the BBC's ''Top of the Pops''. Ayshea (formally Ayshea Brough) had appeared on the earlier ''Discotheque'' in March 1969 and was one of the first women of Asian heritage to present a British television series, initially co-hosting the show with Graham Bonney and later singer Wally Whyton. The series was produced by Muriel Young, who also produced ''Clapperboard'', '' Shang-A-Lang'' and '' Get It Together'' for ITV Granada. The premise of the show was to showcase music requested by viewers writing in to the series. The requests were ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
