1surface coating — ▪ chemistry Introduction any mixture of film forming materials plus pigments, solvents, and other additives, which, when applied to a surface and cured or dried, yields a thin film that is functional and often decorative. Surface coatings… …
2Control moment gyroscope — A control momentum gyroscope (CMG) is an attitude control device generally used in spacecraft attitude control systems. A CMG consists of a spinning rotor and one or more motorized gimbals that tilt the rotor’s angular momentum. As the rotor… …
3Oil well control — is the management of the dangerous effects caused by unexpected high pressures upon surface equipment of oil or gas drilling rigs. Technically, oil well control involves preventing Formation fluid, usually referred to as kick, from entering into… …
4Zero Moment Point — is a concept related with dynamics and control of legged locomotion, e.g., for humanoid robots. It specifies the point with respect to which dynamic reaction force at the contact of the foot with the ground does not produce any moment, i.e. the… …
5Fire-control system — Note: the term fire control may also refer to means of stopping a fire, such as sprinkler systems. A fire control system is a computer, often mechanical, which is designed to assist a weapon system in hitting its target. It performs the same task …
6Attitude dynamics and control — The attitude of a body is its orientation as perceived in a certain frame of reference; providing a vector along which a spacecraft is pointing is a description of its attitude. Dynamics is the term for the modeling of changing conditions, due to …
7Deployable Joint Command and Control — DJC2 Program logo The Deployable Joint Command and Control system, commonly known as DJC2, is an integrated command and control headquarters system which enables a commander to set up a self contained, self powered, computer network enabled… …
