![]() ![]() Plow/scoop anchors hold more effectively in grass, mud and sand. The newest “scoop” designs, like the Manson and Rocna anchors, include round “roll bars” that self-right the anchor, automatically turning it right side up. They generally reset themselves easily if the wind or current changes direction. Plow and Scoop anchors-the “single point” style represented by the Manson Supreme, Rocna, CQR, Delta and Claw-have the best all-around holding ability in varying bottom conditions. Its flukes and stock (the wide crossbar at the top) are more prone to foul on rocks or the anchor rode. Its excellent holding power-to-weight ratio means you can use a lighter anchor compared to other types, but it doesn’t hold well in grassy or rocky surfaces. Light and easy to weigh, it stows flat and holds well in mud or sand. The most popular type of anchor is the fluke anchor, also called the Lightweight or Danforth, which includes the West Marine Traditional and Performance2 anchors and is often the only anchor on many smaller boats. It has a good reputation for use in rock, kelp and grass but needs to be much heavier than an equivalent Plow or fluke style anchor.Rocna Anchors stand out for their holding power, setting ability and ease of use.Ĭhoose between the two most common anchor styles, the fluke and the plow, or if you are boating in a small boat, on protected inland waters, the inland type. The fisherman design is a non-burying type, with one arm penetrating the seabed and the other standing proud. Other anchor styles include the fisherman and four-pronged grapnel style anchors. It is known to have limited holding power in mud or soft sand. Claw anchors hold in most bottom types and varying conditions but is best in rock, weed, and coral. This style anchor sets quickly and is considered reliable in most seabeds and is know to reset well. The claw anchor utilizes a high–strength one–piece design. The Bruce is a modified plow that is more of a winged scoop. It will launch itself from a bow roller as soon as you release tension on the rode, and its weighted tip makes it roll over into the dig-in position as soon as it hits the bottom. It is otherwise very similar and may be slightly superior in holding power. The Delta, a newer design, lacks the hinged neck of the C.Q.R. It features a hinged shank therefore, it will not be unseated by small changes in the direction of pull. (a poor pun on the word secure) is made of hand-forged steel and has a lifetime warranty against breakage. All stow well in a bow roller, which is just as well because they’re very awkward to stow anywhere else. The three most popular makes are the C.Q.R., the Delta and the Bruce. They perform well in sand, gravel, rocks, and coral, but not so well in soft mud or clay, where their smaller surface area may not provide adequate resistance. The plow anchor as the name implies, are shaped like a farmer’s plow, with a long shank ending in two curved flukes. The fluke style anchor is known to hold best in sand and soft mud but this style anchor does not hold as well on rocky, grassy, clay, or weed bottoms. Its lightweight and compact flat design make it easy to retrieve and relatively easy to store some anchor rollers and hawse pipes can accommodate a fluke-style anchor. The stock is hinged so the flukes can orient toward the bottom (and on some designs may be adjusted for an optimal angle depending on the bottom type.) The design is a burying variety, and once well-set can develop an amazing amount of resistance. ![]() The fluke style uses a stock at the crown to which two large flat surfaces are attached. In this posting we are going to review several different types of anchors focusing on their strengths and weaknesses and practical uses. Some cruisers carry a lighter third anchor that is considered their lunch hook that is used in light winds and for short periods of anchoring. The second being a storm anchor should be at least 150-200% as effective as the service anchor. The first would be your primary anchor that should have the holding power to equal to approximately 6% of the boat’s displacement. It is advisable for coastal cruising sailors and power boaters to carry at least two anchors of different designs. The type of anchor and size (weight) of anchor a boat uses basically depends upon the size of the boat, bottom characteristics of the anchorage, time at anchor and weather. ![]() There are different types of anchors with specific advantages and disadvantages depending on various factors.

![]() The extension to the more particular "weaving" of a voice has led to a commixture of tessitura and voice type. A singer's ideal tessitura is centered on the single pitch in which their dynamic range is greatest. Tessitura considerations include these factors: proportion of sudden or gradual rises and falls in pitch-speed of pitch changes the relative number of very high or low notes whether lines and phrases of music in the piece tend to rise or fall-the muscular abilities of a singer may be more suited to one or the other direction. The particular melodic contour of a singer's part may also be considered to be an important aspect of his vocal tessitura. For example, throughout the entirety of Wagner's Ring, the music written for the tenor role of Siegfried ranges from C ♯ 3 to C 5, but the tessitura is described as high because the phrases are most often in the range of C 4 to A 4.įurthermore, the tessitura concept addresses not merely a range of pitches but also the arrangement of those pitches. Hence, it is referred to as the "heart" of a range. However, the tessitura of a part or voice is not decided by the extremes of its range, but rather by the share of this total range which is most used. Hence, in musical notation, tessitura is the ambitus, or a narrower part of it, in which that particular vocal (or less often instrumental) part lies-whether high or low, etc. This broad definition is often interpreted to refer specifically to the pitch range that most frequently occurs within a given part of a musical piece. tessiture, "texture" English: / t ɛ s ɪ ˈ tj uː r ə/) is the most acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given singer or less frequently, musical instrument, the range in which a given type of voice presents its best-sounding (or characteristic) timbre. ![]() For other uses, see Tessitura (disambiguation). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Please consider: The app is and will not working with any activated encryption AND the OCRWorker.php script has to run for the app.įor further information see the appstore page. tesseract-ocr >v3.02.02 with corresponding language files (e.g.OCRmyPDF >v2.x (tested with v4.1.3 (v4 is recommended)).(tested with Debian 8, Raspbian and Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)) Prerequisites, Requirements and Dependencies ocrmypdf it's a scriptable command line program-l eng+fra it supports multiple languages-rotate-pages it can fix pages that are misrotated-deskew it can deskew crooked PDFs-title ' My PDF ' it can change output metadata-jobs 4 it uses multiple cores by default-output-type pdfa it produces PDF/A by default inputscanned.pdf.

In Chess, the term "Checkmate" derives from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat", meaning "the King is dead". ![]() The first chess board setup with light and dark alternating squares was used in Europe in 1090. The longest a chess game could possibly be is 5,949 moves. In chess, once the King is threatened, it is placed in "check." The player with the King in danger must use the next move to either move it on the chess board, attack the threatening chess pieces, or block it to get out of "check." Failure to do so could signal the end of the chess game with the King being placed in "checkmate," meaning that it is impossible to avoid an attack on the King and the player who places the King in this position wins the game of chess online. Kings can move in any direction, however, only one square at a time on the chess board. In chess, Queens (your most valuable piece in chess) can move in any direction in an unlimited number of available spaces. Rooks can do the same, but in any non-diagonal direction on the chess board. The other pieces are free to move across the chess set in the following ways: Bishops can move in any diagonal direction in an unlimited number of available chess board spaces. ![]() Also, it can only attack in a forward, diagonal direction.Īfter this opening to the chess game, the objective is to get the rest of your chess pieces out to attack the opponent's King, while simultaneously protecting your own. In chess, the pawn is free to move forward two squares on the opening move, however, it can only progress one square forward at a time after that. Knights are the only pieces allowed to jump over others in the whole chess set and do so by moving out two squares and across one on the chess board. The first move is performed by the Pawn or the Knight. Select to play as either the black or white chess pieces from the chess setup - white always moves first.

With the components now installed in their correct locations, the circuit board is then run through the solder reflow oven.Īn industrial solder reflow oven uses multiple heat zones for the soldering process. We’ll talk more about solder paste and how it works a little bit later. Next the components are installed on those pads, and the solder paste will hold them in position until they are firmly soldered in place. The solder reflow process first starts with applying solder paste to all of the surface mount pads on the board. The most widely used method of soldering components for mass production, however, is the solder reflow process, which is used primarily to solder surface mount components to the circuit board. PCB assemblers will use wave soldering systems for mass production of boards or automated selective soldering processes for specific applications. ![]() First, there’s the traditional method of hand soldering them, where a technician uses a soldering iron and works on each connection separately. Introduction to the Solder Reflow OvenĮlectronic components can be soldered onto a printed circuit board in a couple of different ways. Let’s look at how the solder reflow oven is used for this process, and what you as a designer need to know to make sure that the process runs smoothly. This process completes the assembly of the board by melting the solder to form good solid solder joints between the components and the board. Using a combination of radiated heat and heat convection, the solder reflow oven delivers a carefully regulated flow of consistent heat to the PCB. The industrial ovens used to reflow solder on a printed circuit board are intricate tools. ![]() When the oven is an industrial version used to reflow PCB solder, it’s even more important to know how to use it. That’s because an oven produces a lot of heat, and if used carelessly will create a disaster. You’ve probably seen the same scenes smoke rolling out of the oven, disappointed family members ordering a pizza, and nothing left but blackened cinders where there should have been a magnificent turkey, ham, casserole, or dessert.
