Seam (sewing)
In sewing, a seam is the join where two or more layers of textile, fabric, leather, or other materials are held together with stitch (textile arts), stitches. Prior to the invention of the sewing machine, all sewing was done by hand. Seams in modern mass-produced household textiles, sports, sporting goods, and ready-to-wear clothing are sewn by computerized machines, while home shoemaking, dressmaking, quilting, crafts, haute couture and tailoring may use a combination of hand and machine sewing.Schaeffer (2001), p. 35 In clothing construction, seams are classified by their ''type'' (plain, lapped, abutted, or French seams) and ''position'' in the finished garment (center back seam, inseam, side seam). Seams are ''finished'' with a variety of techniques to prevent raveling of raw fabric edges and to neaten the inside of garments. The most common standard for seams is ASTM International ASTM D6193-16(2020) This standard also covers various types of Stitch (textile arts), stitch ...

Seam Carving
Seam carving (or liquid rescaling) is an algorithm for content-aware image scaling, image resizing, developed by Shai Avidan, of Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), and Ariel Shamir, of the Interdisciplinary Center and MERL. It functions by establishing a number of ''seams'' (paths of least importance) in an image and automatically removes seams to reduce image size or inserts seams to extend it. Seam carving also allows manually defining areas in which pixels may not be modified, and features the ability to remove whole objects from photographs. The purpose of the algorithm is image retargeting, which is the problem of displaying images without distortion on media of various sizes (cell phones, projection screens) using document standards, like HTML, that already support dynamic changes in page layout and text but not images. Image Retargeting was invented by Vidya Setlur, Saeko Takage, Ramesh Raskar, Michael Gleicher and Bruce Gooch in 2005. The work by Setlur e ...

Seam Route
A route is a pattern or path that a receiver in gridiron football runs to get open for a forward pass. Routes are usually run by wide receivers, running backs and tight ends, but other positions can act as a receiver given the play. One popular way to organize routes is with a "route tree". A route tree is a way to show all the various routes with one diagram. Routes Curl A curl route, also called a hitch or hook (sometimes a button hook), is a route where the receiver appears to be running a fly pattern but after a set number of steps or yards will quickly stop and turn around, looking for a pass. This generally works best when the defending corner or safety commits himself to guarding the fly and is unable to stop quickly enough to defend the pass. A "curl out" on the sideline is often referred to as a comeback route. The curl is a pattern used frequently by the West Coast offensive scheme, where quick and accurate passes are favored. This route can also be used in what ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seam (metallurgy)
Hemming and seaming are two similar metalworking processes in which a sheet metal edge is rolled over onto itself. Hemming is the process in which the edge is rolled flush to itself, while a seam joins the edges of two materials.. Hems are commonly used to reinforce an edge, hide burrs and rough edges, and improve appearance. Seams are commonly used in the food industry on canned goods, on amusement park cars, in metal roof A metal roof is a roofing system featuring metal pieces or tiles exhibiting corrosion resistance, impermeability to water, and long life. It is a component of the building envelope. The metal pieces may be a covering on a structural, non-waterpro ...ing (with a roof seamer), and in the automotive industry. Process The process for both hemming and seaming are the same, except that the tonnage (amount of force exerted) requirement is greater for seaming. The process starts by bending the edge to an acute angle. A flattening die is then used to flatten the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seam (geology)
In geology and related fields, a stratum (: strata) is a layer of rock or sediment characterized by certain lithologic properties or attributes that distinguish it from adjacent layers from which it is separated by visible surfaces known as either '' bedding surfaces'' or ''bedding planes''.Salvador, A. ed., 1994. ''International stratigraphic guide: a guide to stratigraphic classification, terminology, and procedure. 2nd ed.'' Boulder, Colorado, The Geological Society of America, Inc., 215 pp. . Prior to the publication of the International Stratigraphic Guide, older publications have defined a stratum as being either equivalent to a single bed or composed of a number of beds; as a layer greater than 1 cm in thickness and constituting a part of a bed; or a general term that includes both ''bed'' and '' lamina''.Neuendorf, K.K.E., Mehl, Jr., J.P., and Jackson, J.A. , eds., 2005.

Deltarune
''Deltarune'' is an episodic role-playing video game in development by Toby Fox as a follow-up to his 2015 video game ''Undertale''. In the game, the player controls a human teenager, Kris, who is destined to save the world together with Susie, a monster, and Ralsei, a prince from the Dark World. During their quest to seal the Dark Fountains prophesied to end the world, the group makes both friends and foes. The combat system is turn-based and uses bullet hell mechanics. Similarly to ''Undertale'', enemy encounters can be resolved peacefully or through violence. Development of ''Deltarune'' began in 2012, three years before Fox's previous game, ''Undertale'', was released. Though it shares some characters with ''Undertale'' and features similar gameplay, it takes place in a separate setting and uses an overhauled battle system with multiple party members. The game's story is divided into multiple chapters that have been released gradually; its first and second chapters were r ...

Chachoan Airport
Chachoan Airport () is a high elevation airport serving Ambato (also known as San Juan de Ambato), capital of the Tungurahua Province in Ecuador. The airport is northeast of Ambato, in a broad basin of the central Andes mountains cut through by the Ambato River. The Ambato VOR-DME (Ident: AMV) is located on a ridge south-southeast of the airport. The Ambato non-directional beacon (Ident: AMB) is located on the field. There is rising and mountainous terrain in all quadrants. Accident On October 28, 1997, An Aerogal Fairchild FH-227D, with registration HC-BUF, was operating a repositioning ferry flight with staff and equipment from Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport to Chachoan. Due to the pilots' and the airline's poor-to-none flight preparation to fly into this high-elevation airfield, the plane touched down halfway down the runway at high speed (at 100 knots). It overran the runway by 170 meters and fell into a 90-meter-deep ravine. There were no casualties amon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seam (band)
Seam was an American indie rock band formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and based in Chicago, Illinois,. Active from 1991 to 2000, it was led by principal songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and sole continuous member Sooyoung Park, former frontman of Bitch Magnet. Seam's initial line-up included bassist Lexi Mitchell and drummer Mac McCaughan.Strong, Martin C. (1999) ''The Great Alternative & Indie Discography'', Canongate, , p. 548 Seam's style is characterized by "slow, affecting melodies and vocals." The band's music is considered influential on "legions of emo and college rock acts." History The band signed to Homestead Records in the United States and City Slang in Europe, and released debut album '' Headsparks'' in 1992, the same year the band relocated to Chicago. In 1993 they left Homestead for Touch and Go Records, releasing the "Kernel" single before McCaughan left to be replaced by Bob Rising, with Craig White also joining on guitar. This line-up recorded the band' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quarter Seam
The quarter seam is a small join which runs around a cricket ball at 90 degrees to the main seam. Unlike the main seam, the quarter seam has no stitching and is not raised above the surface of the ball. It is produced during the manufacturing process by the boundary between two pieces of leather forming each half of the ball. Some fielding sides have been accused of deliberately interfering with the quarter seam, which would constitute illegal ball tampering. Construction Ball tampering There have been accusations of ball tampering involving the quarter seam, which is against the laws of cricket and would constitute cheating. If fielding sides were to deliberately damage the quarter seam, it could alter the flow of air past the ball during a delivery, aiding swing bowling. Ball tampering with the main seam usually involves picking at the threads of its stitching to enhance conventional swing when the ball is only a few overs old. In contrast, lifting the quarter seam on o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Seam Bowling
Seam bowling is a bowling (cricket), bowling technique in cricket, in which the ball is deliberately bowled to hit the ground on its Seam (sewing), seam, to cause a random deviation when it bounces. A bowler who uses this technique is called a seam bowler or seamer. Seam bowling is a form of fast bowling, although seam can also be a factor in medium-pace bowling. Although there are specialist seamers that make deliberate use of off cutter and leg cutter at the expense of bowling slower than regular fast bowlers, most bowlers employ the seam to some effect and so the terms "seamer" and "fast bowler" are largely synonymous. This was far less the case in the past, even the recent past. Bowlers such as Tom Cartwright and Derek Shackleton bowled seamers at a pace in the low 70mphs and were very successful due to their mastery of control and variation.
