rotary motion of the steering wheel is converted to reciprocating motion by
Reciprocating motion A crank can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or conversely turn reciprocating motion into circular motion.
Torque converter Some of these devices are also equipped with a "lockup" mechanism which rigidly binds the engine to the transmission when their speeds are nearly equal, to avoid slippage and a resulting loss of efficiency.
Economic nationalism While the coining of the term "
Weigh station "Weigh-in-motion" technology allows heavy vehicles that do not exceed limits of weight (and size) to pass the scale, thus improving both freight and weigh scale operation efficiency.
Cerebrum With the assistance of the cerebellum, the cerebrum controls all voluntary actions in the body.
Mechanical joint This is used to connect rigidly two rods which transmit motion in the axial direction, without rotation. These joints may be subjected to tensile or compressive forces along the axes of the rods.
