Not exact matches

So instead of competition forcing all insurers to offer similar plans at similar (hopefully low) price, the search frictions let insurers pursue high margin / low volume strategies.

For the experimental transportation system to travel at such high speeds with minimal energy, all possible sources of friction must be minimized.

Such transmission tweaks include reducing the engine's time spent operating at a very high rotational speed to lower mechanical friction, or reducing time spent with an open throttle to lower air friction in the cars cylinders.

Shooting stars are meteors zooming at high speed through Earth's atmosphere and burning up along the way from friction.

As the atmosphere extends to higher altitudes, debris at these altitudes are then subjected to increased friction, known as drag, and as a result, space debris typically fall to Earth at a higher rate during solar maximum.

Friction only arises at the locations where the highest hilltops on the two sliding surfaces touch one another.

For example, tests by various researchers in Europe and tests by Wilson, Ihrig & Associates at the Portland Tri-Met and New Jersey Transit suggest that wheel vibration absorbers can and do control wheel squeal, the high - pitched noise due to the friction between the wheel and rail while the train rounds a curve.

«At those altitudes, there is no planetary boundary - layer friction with the surface (meaning, the surface terrain does not exert a frictional drag on the wind moving above it), so high - speed winds might be possible.

The game's title is based on the slang term for the severe friction burns that can occur in a motorcycle fall where skin comes into contact with the ground at high speed.

Interestingly, these new schools, supported by grants from philanthropist Bill Gates (see Colvin, «The New Philanthropists»), have attracted considerably more controversy than the charter schools, in large part because they played a role in overcrowding and friction at high schools that were not small elsewhere in the city.

With its low - friction valvetrain, variable valve - timing and the latest Bosch engine management system, the V - 12 feels awake at last, and it spins effortlessly to its power peak, which comes nearly 1000 rpm higher than a decade ago.

The 60 - mph low - friction circle is ideal for simulating high - speed cornering at the limit.

It also must contain a bearing system to suspend the shaft, allowing it to rotate at very high speed with minimal friction.

It features low - rolling resistance tires to reduce road friction, has grille shutters and sits lower to the ground, making the car more aerodynamic and slippery against the wind at high speeds.

The crankcase is very rigid due to its closed - deck design — which means that the cylinder water jacket is closed at the top — while thermally joined, high - strength cylinder liners with twin - wire, arc - sprayed coating save weight, allow greater thermal transfer due to the thinner cylinder wall thickness and reduce internal friction.

Specially designed grooves on the friction material which are integrated into the friction lining for oil flow and cooling provide very low losses at the clutch in the open state, enable high transmission efficiency and smooth shifting capability while increasing fuel economy.

At all loads and engine speeds they strike an optimal balance between minimal friction and high thermodynamic efficiency.

The line - topping engine at launch will be Hyundai's 5.0 L Tau V8, updated from the Equus with a higher compression ratio, durability enhancements and a range of friction - and weight - reducing efficiencies.

A low - friction three - cylinder architecture that delivers naturally high torque at low rpm An integrated exhaust manifold that improves fuel - efficiency by helping the engine reach optimal temperatures faster, and delivers torque more rapidly by minimizing the distance exhaust gasses travel between cylinders and turbocharger.

In general, we save fuel in three separate ways: first is with a grid charge; second is regenerative braking — we run very high power regen, much, much higher than anyone and we pretty much avoid the use of friction brakes; and third is running the engine at the sweet spot.

With low - friction pistons, high performance camshafts, larger diameter throttle body and other tweaks, its engine delivers its peak 195 horsepower at 8,000 rpms - the red line on the tachometer is at 8,400 - and its peak torque at 7,300, which explains why it sounds the way an angry bee would sound if piped through disco - sized amplifiers.

New TLX Powertrains At the heart of the TLX's athletic sports - sedan performance capabilities are two new powertrains, utilizing direct - injection, V - TEC or i - VTEC valvetrains with Variable Timing Control (VTC) or Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) and low - friction technologies to deliver higher output, more linear and responsive power delivery and anticipated class - leading fuel - economy ratings.

The car is also equipped with a high performance Brembo brake package developed specifically for the Civic Type R, with four - piston calipers and 350 - mm drilled discs at the front axle to stabilize braking friction between the disc and pad at high temperatures.

These brake pads are engineered for increased service life while maintaining high friction levels at all operating temperatures.

Most 5 - in - 1 clippers and fixed - position blade trimmers need good blade care, as they run at fairly high speeds, causing friction and wear if not maintained properly.

Other dryers on the market provide air at a high - velocity usually with no heating element; the friction of air moving through the hose and motor warmth keeps the airstream warm.

Competitive riders who can average above 208 watts of power (normal humans can pedal at about 100 watts for an average commute) can benefit from the belt drive as the chain friction increases faster than the belt at these high loads.

Moving at high speeds only intensifies the friction.
