61Riemannian manifold — In Riemannian geometry, a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) (with Riemannian metric g ) is a real differentiable manifold M in which each tangent space is equipped with an inner product g in a manner which varies smoothly from point to point. The… …
62V16 engine — A V16 engine is a v engine with 16 cylinders. Engines of this number of cylinders are not common.A V16 engine is perfectly balanced regardless of the V angle without requiring counter rotating balancing shafts which are necessary on large… …
63Flat-4 — A flat 4 or horizontally opposed 4 is a flat engine with four cylinders arranged horizontally in two banks of two cylinders on each side of a central crankcase. The pistons are usually mounted on the crankshaft such that opposing pistons move… …
64Straight-4 — The straight 4 or inline 4 engine (often abbreviated I4 or L4) is a four cylinder internal combustion engine with all four cylinders mounted in a straight line along the crankcase. The single bank of cylinders may be oriented in either a vertical …
65Lean manufacturing — or lean production, which is often known simply as Lean , is the practice of a theory of production that considers the expenditure of resources for any means other than the creation of value for the presumed customer to be wasteful, and thus a… …
66Parallel transport — In geometry, parallel transport is a way of transporting geometrical data along smooth curves in a manifold. If the manifold is equipped with an affine connection (a covariant derivative or connection on the tangent bundle), then this connection… …
67Horse gait — This is an article on horse gaits; for other meanings, see: gait (disambiguation). Horse gaits are the different ways in which a horse can move, either naturally or as a result of specialized training by humans.Ensminger, M. E. Horses and… …
68Camel (cigarette) — Camel is a brand of cigarettes that was introduced by American company R.J. Reynolds Tobacco in the summer of 1913. Most current Camel cigarettes contain a blend of Turkish and Virginia tobacco. Early in 2008 the blend was changed as was the… …
69Yield curve — This article is about yield curves as used in finance. For the term s use in physics, see Yield curve (physics). Not to be confused with Yield curve spread – see Z spread. The US dollar yield curve as of February 9, 2005. The curve has a typical… …
70Glossary of scheme theory — This is a glossary of scheme theory. For an introduction to the theory of schemes in algebraic geometry, see affine scheme, projective space, sheaf and scheme. The concern here is to list the fundamental technical definitions and properties of… …
