HEIR, GENERAL. Heir at common in the English law. The heir at common law is he who, after his father or ancestor's death has a right to, and is introduced into all his lands, tenements and hereditaments. He must be of the whole blood, not a bastard, alien, &c.
An air data computer (ADC) is a avionics component that assimilates the inputs from an aircraft's external and system sensors and returns a series of calculated results critical to the control of the aircraft. In one compact package, the air data computer performs what a bank of individual instruments were once required to do. Almost all the flight-related information displayed in newer commercial aircraft fitted with glass cockpits is compiled by an air data computer.
An idle air control valve, also called an idle air sensor control motor, is an electrically operated valve that controls the amount of air that bypasses the throttle plate in cars with a fuel injection system [source: Autozone ]. This causes the idling speed of the engine to change as needed.
