D-type Asteroid
D-type asteroids have a very low albedo and a featureless reddish Asteroid spectral types, spectrum. It has been suggested that they have a composition of organic-rich silicates, carbon and anhydrous silicates, possibly with water ice in their interiors. D-type asteroids are found in the outer asteroid belt and beyond; examples are 152 Atala, and 944 Hidalgo as well as the majority of Jupiter Trojan, Jupiter trojans. It has been suggested that the Tagish Lake (meteorite), Tagish Lake meteorite was a fragment from a D-type asteroid, and that the Martian moon Phobos (moon), Phobos is closely related. The Nice model suggests that D-type asteroids may have originated in the Kuiper belt. 46 D-type asteroids are known, including: 3552 Don Quixote, 944 Hidalgo, 624 Hektor, and 10199 Chariklo.

Jaguar D-Type
The Jaguar D-Type is a sports racing car that was produced by Jaguar Cars Ltd. between 1954 and 1957. Designed specifically to win the Le Mans 24-hour race, it shared the straight-6 XK engine and many mechanical components with its C-Type predecessor. Its structure, however, was radically different, with innovative monocoque construction and slippery aerodynamics that integrated aviation technology, including in some examples a distinctive vertical stabilizer. Engine displacement began at 3.4 litres, was enlarged to 3.8 L in 1957, and reduced to 3.0 L in 1958 when Le Mans rules limited engines for sports racing cars to that maximum. D-Types won Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957. After Jaguar temporarily retired from racing as a factory team, the company offered the remaining unfinished D-Types as street-legal XKSS versions, whose perfunctory road-going equipment made them eligible for production sports car races in America. In 1957 25 of these cars were in various stages ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Honda D-Type
The Honda D-Type is the first full-fledged motorcycle manufactured by Honda. The bike was also known as the Type D and Model D, and was the first of a series of models from Honda to be named Dream. The D-Type was produced from 1949 to 1951. Pre-D-Type history In October 1946 Soichiro Honda established Honda Gijutsu Kenkyu Sho (Honda Technical Research Laboratory). The company was based in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka prefecture. Their earliest product was a motorized bicycle, called a ''pon-pon'' in the Hamamatsu area. Honda's pon-pon used a WWII surplus generator engine made by Mikuni Shoko and a belt-drive to power the rear wheel. When the supply of surplus motors was gone Honda designed a unique two-stroke engine as a replacement. This engine had rotary valves, a stepped-diameter piston and a tall extension to the cylinder head that caused it to be nicknamed the 'chimney'. This engine was not put into production, and the engineering drawings were subsequently lost. One copy was recrea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Type D Personality
Type D personality, a concept used in the field of medical psychology, is defined as the joint tendency towards negative affectivity (e.g. worry, irritability, gloom) and social inhibition (e.g. reticence and a lack of self-assurance). The letter D stands for " distressed". Characteristics Individuals with a Type D personality have the tendency to experience increased negative emotions across time and situations and tend not to share these emotions with others, because of fear of rejection or disapproval. Johan Denollet, professor of Medical Psychology at Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands, developed the construct based on clinical observations in cardiac patients, empirical evidence, and existing theories of personality. The prevalence of Type D personality is 21% in the general population and ranges between 18% to 53% in cardiac patients. Some early studies found that coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with a Type D personality have a worse prognosis following a my ...

AC Power Plugs And Sockets
AC power plugs and sockets connect electric equipment to the alternating current (AC) mains electricity power supply in buildings and at other sites. Electrical plugs and sockets differ from one another in voltage and current rating, shape, size, and connector type. Different standard systems of plugs and sockets are used around the world. Plugs and sockets for portable appliances became available in the 1880s, to replace connections to light sockets with wall-mounted outlets. A proliferation of types developed for both convenience and protection from electrical injury. Today there are about 20 types in common use around the world, and many obsolete socket types are found in older buildings. Coordination of technical standards has allowed some types of plug to be used across large regions to facilitate trade in electrical appliances, and for the convenience of travellers and consumers of imported electrical goods. Some multi-standard sockets allow use of several types of plug; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Matsu-class Destroyer
The were a class of destroyer built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the late stages of World War II. The class was also designated the . Although sometimes termed Destroyer escorts, they were larger and more capable than contemporary United States Navy destroyer escorts or the Imperial Japanese Navy ''kaibōkan'' vessels. Background Even by 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff realized that attrition of its destroyer force was not sustainable. There was a growing need for a simplified design which could be quickly mass-produced, and which could serve primarily as convoy escorts and as destroyer-transports in front-line locations, but would still be capable of working with the fleet if necessary. Emphasis was placed on anti-aircraft guns and anti-submarine weapons, and radar, as operations against surface targets was deemed unlikely. Forty-two vessels were ordered and work began in August 1943. In the middle of 1944, the orders for twenty-four of these vessels ...

Type D Escort Ship
The were a class of escort ships in the service of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. The Japanese called them "Type D" coast defence ships, and they were the sixth class of ''Kaibōkan'' (''Kai'' = sea, ocean, ''Bo'' = defence, ''Kan'' = ship), a name used to denote a multi-purpose vessel. 143 ships were ordered under the 1943-44 Programme, and a further 57 units were planned (but never ordered) under the 1944-45 Programme, for an overal total of 200 ships. However only 67 were completed, with the remainder being cancelled. Background The Type D, like the and es, were dedicated to the anti-aircraft (AA) and anti-submarine role. On 22 April 1943, the Navy General Staff decided a mass production of escort ships, because of the urgent need to protect the convoys which were under constant attack. The plan was to build a basic escort ship of around 800 tons, with a simple design for easy construction. The first designs, for "Type A" and "Type B" ''Mikura'' class, s ...

Type D Submarine
The , also called or was a type of the 1st class submarine in the Imperial Japanese Navy serving during the Second World War. The type name, was shortened to . The , also called was different from the ''I-361'' class, however since the ''I-373'' was a development form of the ''I-361'' class, this article describes both of them. Construction After the Battle of Midway the IJN immediately planned a transport submarine. The type was based on the '' U 155 Deutschland''. Her duties were transportation of troops (110 men, 10 tons freight and two landing craft) in the areas where the enemy had air superiority. Later the demands for her were changed in sequence. The final demands were 65 tons in the hull and 25 tons on the upper deck (freight only). In the beginning the IJN did not intend to arm these boats with torpedoes. Later, after strong demands from the front commanders, it was decided to arm them with torpedoes for self-defense. The ''I-372'' class was designed as a tanker subm ...

Avro Type D
The Avro Type D was an aircraft built in 1911 by the pioneer British aircraft designer A.V. Roe. Roe had previously built and flown several aircraft at Brooklands, most being tractor layout triplanes. The Type D was his first biplane. Design The Type D was the first biplane design by A.V. Roe. Like his earlier aircraft, the Roe IV Triplane, it was of tractor (aircraft) configuration and had a triangular section ash fuselage, divided in two-halves bolted together behind the cockpit for ease of transportation. The high aspect ratio wings were braced in an irregular three-bay layout, the interval between the pairs of interplane struts increasing from the centre section outwards. Lateral control was by wing warping. The wing was mounted directly to the lower longeron of the fuselage, at the front of which was the Green water-cooled engine, with the radiator mounted flat behind it in the direction of travel under the upper wing, between the fuselage and upper wing. Behind thi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Audi Type D
The Audi Type D was introduced in 1911. The vehicle had a four-cylinder in-line engine with 4.7 litres of displacement. It developed 45 PS over a four-speed countershaft gearbox and a propeller shaft, which drove the rear wheels. The car had a ladder frame and two leaf-sprung solid axles. The Type D was available as a four-seat touring car or four-door sedan. Until 1920, only 53 copies of the car were built.

Caudron Type D
The Caudron Type D was a French pre-World War I single seat, twin-boom tractor configuration, tractor biplane, a close but slightly smaller relative of the two seat Caudron Type C. More than a dozen were completed, one exported to the United Kingdom, where they may also have been licence built, and three to China. Design and development In late 1911 W.H. Ewen acquired the right to supply Caudron aircraft in the United Kingdom, U.K. and in Ewen Aviation's 1913 catalogue the single seat Type D appears on the page labelled Type C; though the latter was a two-seater, the two types appear to have been closely related. Both were twin boom, tractor biplanes, which began with equal upper and lower spans but were later modified into sesquiplanes. Both were single-seaters, with engine and pilot in an interwing nacelle. In contrast to the Type C, the Type D was a little smaller and lighter and in its early months was powered by the low power () Anzani 3-cylinder fan engines, 3-cylinder Anza ...
