Pack Animal
A pack animal, also known as a sumpter animal or beast of burden, is a working animal used to transport goods or materials by carrying them, usually on its back. Domestic animals of many species are used in this way, among them alpacas, Bactrian camels, donkeys, dromedaries, gayal, goats, horses, llamas, mules, reindeer, water buffaloes and yaks. Diversity Traditional pack animals include ungulates such as camels, the domestic yak, reindeer, goats, water buffaloes, and llama, and domesticated members of the horse family including horses, donkeys, and mules. Occasionally, dogs can be used to carry small loads. Pack animals by region * Arctic – reindeer and sled dogs * Central Africa and Southern Africa – oxen, mules, donkeys * Eurasia – donkeys, oxen, horses, mules ** Central Asia – Bactrian camels, yaks, horses, mules, donkeys ** South and Southeast Asia – water buffaloes, yaks, Asian elephants * North America – horses, mules, don ...

Pack (compression)
Pack is a legacy Unix shell compression program based on Huffman coding. The unpack utility will restore files to their original state after they have been compressed using the ''pack'' utility. If no files are specified, the standard input will be uncompressed to the standard output. Although obsolete, support for packed files exists in modern compression tools such as gzip and 7-zip. Description of program Files compressed by ''pack'' are typically given the extension ".z" (not to be confused with the ".Z" of compress). Files can be returned to their original state using ''unpack''. In addition, there may also be a ''pcat'' command which reads in a compressed file and sends its output to stdout. See also * Data compression In information theory, data compression, source coding, or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pack (aircraft)
An air cycle machine (ACM) is the refrigeration unit of the environmental control system (ECS) used in pressurized gas turbine-powered aircraft. Normally an aircraft has two or three of these ACM. Each ACM and its components are often referred as an ''air conditioning pack''. The air cycle cooling process uses air instead of a phase changing material such as Freon in the gas cycle. No condensation or evaporation of a refrigerant is involved, and the cooled air output from the process is used directly for cabin ventilation or for cooling electronic equipment. History Air cycle machines were first developed in the 19th century for providing chilling on ships. The technique is a reverse Brayton cycle (the thermodynamic cycle of a gas turbine engine) and is also known as a Bell Coleman cycle or "Air-Standard Refrigeration Cycle". Technical details The usual compression, cooling and expansion seen in any refrigeration cycle is accomplished in the ACM by a centrifugal compress ...

Arctic Ice Pack
The Arctic ice pack is the sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and its vicinity. The Arctic ice pack undergoes a regular seasonal cycle in which ice melts in spring and summer, reaches a minimum around mid-September, then increases during fall and winter. Summer ice cover in the Arctic is about 50% of winter cover. Some of the ice survives from one year to the next. Currently, 28% of Arctic Oceanic basin, basin sea ice is Sea ice#Old sea ice, multi-year ice, thicker than seasonal ice: up to thick over large areas, with ridges up to thick. Besides the regular seasonal cycle there has been an underlying trend of Arctic sea ice decline, declining sea ice in the Arctic in recent decades as well. Climatic importance Energy balance effects Sea ice has an important effect on the heat balance of the Polar regions of Earth, polar oceans, since it insulates the (relatively) warm ocean from the much colder air above, thus reducing heat loss from the oceans. Sea ice is highly albedo, r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cigarette Pack
A pack or packet of cigarettes (also informally called fag packet in British slang; as in the idiom Back-of-the-envelope calculation, "back of a fag packet" or "fag-packet calculation") is a rectangular Packaging, container, mostly of paperboard, which contains cigarette, cigarettes. The pack is designed with a flavor-protective foil, paper or plastic, and sealed through a transparent airtight plastic film. By pulling the "pull-tabs", the pack is opened. Hard packs can be closed again after opening, whereas soft packs cannot. Cigarette packs often contain tobacco packaging warning messages, warning messages depending on which country they are sold in. In the European Union, most tobacco warnings are standardised. A patent has been granted for a cigarette package containing a container for disposal of cigarette butts. Package size Pack The size of a pack is often regulated. Government agencies usually set a minimum pack size. In cigarette packets in Australia, Australia, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
