1. Aluminum beverage can
   Aluminum beverage can The aluminum can is a popular beverage container. Early beverage cans were opened by pulling a tab that completely removed a portion of the can's lid. These "pop top" tabs were a common form of litter--and a lingering hazard for bare feet, especially at public beaches--for many years

The manuals assumed no computer background, the programs were straightforward to use, and thus it was usual to find the CEO of a small company or somebody else developing the applications needed in-house. All this software when bought separately would cost more than the whole package including the Kaypro 2, which was a very usable and (at the time) powerful computer for the office and the laboratory. This made the Kaypro very popular, both at work and with well educated

3. Kerrison Predictor
   the Luftwaffe's dive bombers were attacking from, which were quickly proving to be a decisive weapon in the Blitzkrieg. The Predictor solved the problem by doing all of the calculations mechanically through a complex system of gears. Inputs included wind speed, gravity, ballistics of the gun and the rounds it fired, angle to the target in azimuth and altitude, and a user-input estimated speed. All of these inputs were fed in via dials, which turned gearing inside the Predictor to calculate the range (from the change in angle and estimated speed) and direction of motion, generate the correct lead needed based

   name implies, double-pointed needles are tapered at both ends nearly to points. They are normally used in sets of four or five as depicted in a number of 14th Century oil paintings, typically called Knitting Madonnas, depicting Mary knitting with double-pointed needles (Rutt, 2003). Typical 21st Century double-pointed needles range from about 4 in. to 15 in. in length. Shorter needles are used for knitting socks and the fingers of gloves. Longer needles are used for nearly all other work, including sweaters, shawls and blankets. Both tubular and flat knitting is also done on circular needles, today consisting of two pointed

The city was founded in 1628, as a fort on the frontier. Its growth was stimulated by the arrival of the Siberian Post Road, and later by the discovery of gold and by the railroad. It has been the administrative center of the region since 1934, and is also an industrial and cultural center. The major industries include aluminum production and ship-building. A metro system is being constructed. KremboKrembo Krembo is a type of Israeli candy.

    Jade An ornamental stone, jade is a name applied to two related minerals, the nephrite form of actinolite (a mineral that also includes a form of asbestos), and a mineral called jadeite. The former is a calcium magnesium iron silicate hydroxide, with the formula Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2, and the latter is a sodium aluminum silicate, with the formula NaAlSi2O6. The two are closely related, and it wasn't until 1863 that people could distinguish between the two forms of this stone. It is an exceptionally tough material,

    mechanical spreading device originally developed by Hurst Performance and now under the registered trademark of Hale Products, Inc. It was invented in 1972 as an extrication tool for the race car industry and is now essential equipment in rescue, firefighting, and public safety operations. Hale Products says, "Because the tool reduced the time to extricate a victim from a car crash, literally snatching them from the 'jaws of death', the tool earned the name Jaws of Life." The Jaws of Life includes two scissor-like aluminum alloy arms with tempered steel tips that may be provided with teeth to more fully engage

The engine was capable of 1323 N thrust, translating to a delta-V of 1480 m/s. Attitude control was achieved by 12 small compressed-nitrogen jets. An acquisition Sun sensor, a cruise Sun sensor, a Canopus star tracker and an inertial reference unit consisting of 6 gyroscopes allowed three-axis stabilization. Two accelerometers were also on board. Communications were accomplished through a 20 W S-band (2.3 GHz) transmitter and two 20 W TWTA's. An X-band (8.4 GHz)

15. Jonquière, Quebec
    city on the Saguenay River in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada, near Chicoutimi. In 2002, Jonquière became an arrondissement, or borough, of the mega-city Ville de Saguenay. Jonquière itself was the result of the agglomeration of three cities: Kénogami, Jonquière and Arvida. Much of Jonquière's development owed its strength to the Price family who ran a pulp and paper factory in Kénogami. Today that pulp and paper factory is owned by Abitibi-Consolidated. Arvida is the home of an aluminum plant owned by ALCAN. See List of communities in Quebec.

Items controlled often include clerical tasks such as order-entry, as well as conventional manufacturing
