Fluid - filled compliance bushings at all four corners further improve ride comfort and absorption of road irregularities, and all new Accords also feature, for the first time, an Adaptive Damper System with the ability to adjust shock absorber damping force every 1/500 of a second, providing for a more compliant and controlled ride in all driving situations.

«Sport» mode allows the shock absorbers to have a tauter response depending on the driving situation, while «Sport plus» is recommended for fast lap times on a race circuit: apart from higher damping forces, this mode has special control algorithms configured for a decidedly sporty driving style on uneven road surfaces.

• Revised spring elements for an even wider range of damping forces.

The GT - R's special Bilstein ® DampTronic driver - adjustable shock - absorber system — which utilizes information from multiple vehicle systems to provide appropriate damping forces and high level of control for a variety of driving situations — has been enhanced by way of a new valve housing that reduces resistance losses.

The Adaptive Variable Suspension system provides three modes to control the spring rate and shock absorber damping force to provide optimal handling and comfort for on - road or trail driving.

For this, Nissan has fitted the GT - R Nismo with a special Bilstein DampTronic driver adjustable suspension system that provides optimum damping forces by collecting data from the various vehicle information systems in the car.

DRC connects shock absorbers on each side of the car diagonally to their counterparts by way of a central valve, which directs a flow of oil to provide additional damping force whenever a shock absorber is compressed, making for impressive gains in handling precision and stability.

«Sport plus» provides higher damping forces and features specific control algorithms which have been adjusted for a decidedly sporty driving style on routes with a level road surface - such as when trying to achieve ambitious lap times on a race circuit such as Hockenheim.

David Stern, vice president of marketing for the Metropolitan Vacuum Cleaner Company — which makes air force dryers and other pet grooming equipment and products — says another problem is that hairdryers dry from the outside in, which can leave the skin and undercoat still damp.

Could the climate forcing itself, such as increasing GHGs, affect parameterizations independently of the larger scale climate changes (for example, by changing thermal damping of various kinds of waves, or by changing the differences of radiative effects between different amounts and kinds of clouds)?

Feedbacks — changes in the model that occur in response to the initial forcing that end up adding to (for positive feedbacks) or damping (negative feedbacks) the initial response.

The actual «forcing» for ENSO is solar, but ENSO is a defined «oscillation» and any «oscillation» in a system can create or amplify other «oscillations» or more appropriately damped recurrent decay responses.

In the standard resonance mechanism, think for instance of a damped harmonic oscillator, the amplification of the external forcing can be related, mathematically, to a singularity in the complex plane of the Green function of the problem.

You might come to realize that while gravitation can do a bit of work at first in a way that depends on the initial state and hence can differentially heat or cool local parts of the gas as it expands or compresses to achieve a self - supporting density / pressure profile such that throughout the gas column (condition for static force balance), once static force balance is achieved (which happens almost instantly, BTW) any bulk motion of the gas damps and gravitation can no longer heat or cool the gas.

If you don't have a source of external free energy to keep replacing energy the pendulum loses to «heat» (via irreversible friction and drag forces, for example) any real pendulum damps to (almost) perfectly zero motion over time; gravity can contribute only the energy originally stored in the pendulum when you pulled it up to start it moving.

But with annual regression, for short impulse forcings the delay in response does damp the estimated coefficient of GMST on forcing, and hence the efficacy estimate.

Wigley states, «If one accounts for the ocean damping effect using either a PD or UD model, and, if one assumes that greenhouse gas forcing is dominant on the century time scale, then the climate sensitivity required to match model predictions is only about 0.4 deg C / wm -2.

The UBC is tested for computational problems initially in the linear PE model, and subsequently in a forced, damped nonlinear quasi-geostrophic model.
