Fiat Allis
Fiatallis (1983 to early 2000s, Fiat-Allis 1974 to 1982), was a brand of heavy equipment (also called construction equipment, earthmoving equipment, or engineering vehicles), such as loader (equipment), loaders, bulldozers, backhoes, wheel tractor-scraper, scrapers, and graders. It began in January 1974, when Allis-Chalmers's construction equipment business was reorganized into a joint venture with Fiat, Fiat SpA,.. which bought a 65% majority stake at the outset. Allis-Chalmers's construction equipment business was often unprofitable during the 1950s and 1960s. It faced stiff competition from companies such as Caterpillar Inc., Caterpillar, Case Corporation, Case, International Harvester, Euclid Trucks, Euclid, John Deere, Fiat Trattori, Fiat MMT, and several others. The 1974 formation of a new company, Fiat-Allis Construction Machinery Inc., was essentially a divestment for Allis-Chalmers so that capital could be redirected to their other more profitable divisions.

Allis Shad
The allis shad (''Alosa alosa'') is a widespread Northeast Atlantic species of fish in the Clupeidae, herring family, Clupeidae. It is an Fish migration, anadromous fish which migrates into fresh water to spawn. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the western Baltic Sea and the western Mediterranean Sea. In appearance it resembles an Atlantic herring but has a distinctive dark spot behind the gill cover and sometimes a row of up to six spots behind this. It sometimes hybridises with the twait shad (''A. fallax''). This fish becomes mature when three or more years old and migrates to estuaries, later swimming up rivers to spawn. Populations of this fish have declined due to overfishing, pollution and habitat destruction. Conservation of this species is covered by Appendix III of the Berne Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, Bern Convention and Appendix II and V of the Habitats Directive, European Community Habitats Directive.

Allis-Chalmers Model B
The Allis-Chalmers model B was a small agricultural tractor produced by the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing company from 1937 to 1957. With over 125,000 units produced, the model B became one of the best selling and longest-produced tractors for Allis-Chalmers. The B came in several different variations including the Asparagus B, Potato Special, and the IB industrial tractor, and gave rise to the larger Allis-Chalmers Model C. The Model B was styled by Brooks Stevens, an industrial designer and graphic designer. Description and production In the early 1930s, Allis-Chalmers tractor division manager Harry Merritt's study of farm census figures showed that, of the nearly seven million farms in America, some four million were of or less. Furthermore, the million or so tractors used on American farms were generally unsuitably large for such acreage. Although the Fordson tractor and then the first-generation row-crop tractors, including the Farmall, Allis-Chalmers's own Model WC ...

Alliss
ALLISS is a somewhat rotatable antenna system for high power shortwave radio broadcasting in the 6 MHz to 26 MHz range. An ALLISS module is a self-contained shortwave relay station that is used for international broadcasting. Background ALLISS is a special design case of HRS type antennas. True ALLISS systems have solid radiators (horizontal radiating elements) versus tensioned flexible (open) radiators found with all other variations of ITU HRS type antennas systems. The name is based on a concatenation of two French towns ALLouis and ISSoudun. Technological ambiguities There are some factors that separate true ALLISS technology from 'run-of-the-mill' rotatable HRS Type antennas. Thales pseudo-ALLISS rotatable antenna designs were procured from other antenna manufacturers that Thales acquired by corporate transactions. Technically only solid radiators distinguish true ALLISS systems from all other rotatable HRS type antennas. Only about 12% (estimate) of all HRS ...

Big Allis
Ravenswood Generating Station is a 2,480 megawatt power plant in Long Island City in Queens, New York City, New York. It is owned and operated by LS Power/Helix Energy Solutions Group. The plant is fueled primarily by fuel oil (no. 6) and natural gas which heats the boilers. History Ravenswood was originally built and owned by Consolidated Edison of New York Inc. (Con Edison) in 1963. The first two units constructed in 1963 were Ravenswood 10 and 20, each having a generating capacity of approximately 385 megawatts. Then, in 1965, Ravenswood 30 (commonly called "Big Allis") was commissioned with a generating capacity of nearly 981 megawatts. In the 1970s, multiple combustion turbine units were installed in a simple cycle configuration to meet peak power demands. Two 2030 MWth(500 MWe) nuclear reactors were planned to begin operation on the site in 1970, but they were cancelled due to controversy and safety concerns. Due to deregulation of the energy markets in New York State, Con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Allis Clamp
An Allis clamp (also called the Allis forceps) is a commonly used surgical instrument. It was invented by Oscar Allis. *The Allis clamp is a surgical instrument with sharp teeth, used to hold or grasp heavy tissue. It is also used to grasp fascia and soft tissues such as breast or bowel tissue. Allis clamps can cause damage, so they are often used in tissue about to be removed. *When used to grasp the cervix to stabilize the uterus, such as when an intrauterine device is being inserted, an Allis clamp has the advantage of causing less bleeding than the more commonly used tenaculum. See also *Instruments used in general surgery There are many different surgical specialties, some of which require very specific kinds of surgical instruments to perform. General surgery is a specialty focused on the abdominal contents, as well as the thyroid gland, and diseases involving ...
