Vane (video Game)
Vane is a video game released on January 15, 2019, for the PlayStation 4 and later released on Windows. The game was developed by Tokyo-based studio Friend & Foe, and its producer is Matt Smith. Vane is an adventure game in which players control a child that is able to turn back and forth into a bird. Gameplay involves exploration and puzzle-solving. The game received mixed reviews upon release. Reception ''Vane'' received "mixed or average" reviews for PC and "generally unfavorable" reviews for PlayStation 4. Chris Moyse of ''Destructoid'' gave the game 4 out of 10, stating, "''Vane'' has a very strong opening, some unique visual ideas, and an atmospheric electronica soundtrack. Unfortunately, all of this is quickly muted by aimless and frustrating gameplay. Though ''Vane''‘s abstract approach to storytelling is genuinely liberating, the player remains caged with simplistic gameplay tropes, immersion-breaking technical problems, boring puzzles, and a terrible save system."

Vane (album)
''Vane'' is the only studio album by Bleak, an offshoot of the band Lycia, released in 1995 by Projekt Records. Reception AllMusic awarded ''Vane'' four out of five stars and said "for every more familiar Lycia element there's something extra -- more electronic noises, a playing down of the guitar in favor of other instruments, odd drum patterns -- to mitigate against any of this being simply the equivalent of outtakes from the main band's work." I Die: You Die said "''Vane'' was distinct from Lycia not so much in terms of instrumentation but intent; where contemporary records from the latter project were focused on finding a balance between lushness and severity, Bleak would largely forgo any sense of comfort for, well, bleakness." Track listing Personnel Adapted from the ''Vane'' liner notes. ;Bleak *David Galas – synthesizer, drum machine *Mike VanPortfleet – vocals, synthesizer, guitar, drum machine ;Production and additional personnel *Bleak – ...

Weather Vane
A wind vane, weather vane, or weathercock is an instrument used for showing the direction of the wind. It is typically used as an architectural ornament to the highest point of a building. The word ''vane'' comes from the Old English word , meaning "flag". Although partly functional, wind vanes are generally decorative, often featuring the traditional cockerel design with letters indicating the points of the compass. Other common motifs include ships, arrows, and horses. Not all wind vanes have pointers. In a sufficiently strong wind, the head of the arrow or cockerel (or equivalent) will indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing. Wind vanes are also found on small wind turbines to keep the wind turbine pointing into the wind. History The oldest textual reference in China to a weather vane comes from the ''Huainanzi'' dating from around 139 BC, which mentions a thread or streamer that another commentator interprets as "wind-observing fan" (, ).

Rotary Vane Pump
A rotary vane pump is a positive-displacement pump that consists of vanes mounted to a rotor that rotates inside a cavity. In some cases these vanes can have variable length and/or be tensioned to maintain contact with the walls as the pump rotates. It was invented by Charles C. Barnes of Sackville, New Brunswick, who patented it on June 16, 1874. There have been various improvements, including a variable vane pump for gases (1909). They are considered less suitable than other vacuum pumps for high-viscosity and high-pressure fluids, and are complex to operate. They can endure short periods of dry operation, and are considered good for low-viscosity fluids. Type The simplest vane pump has a circular rotor rotating inside a larger circular cavity. The centers of these two circles are offset, causing eccentricity. Vanes and seal on all edges, creating vane chambers that do the pumping work. On the suction side of the pump the vane chambers are increased in volume. These are filled w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vane Display
A vane display is a type of 7-segment display. Unlike LED and VFD segmented displays, vane displays are composed of seven physical surfaces (vanes), typically painted white, but occasionally other colors, such as yellow or fluorescent green. If a segment is to be displayed as "off", it will be rotated so that its edge faces forward, with the painted surface pointing away and not visible. A segment that is to be displayed as "on" will be rotated so that the painted surface is shown. Vane displays operate in a similar manner to flip-disc displays, in that the segments are quickly moved using electromagnets. Some variants used where the display need not necessarily be changed quickly use electric motors to rotate the displays in and out of place. Vane displays have been used in game shows and on scoreboards in sports arenas and stadiums. Like eggcrate displays, they are not washed out by bright lights such as those found in a television studio. Another benefit of the vane display i ...
