In Cross Stitch it is important that the top leg of the stitch always runs in the same direction. This gives an attractive surface to reflect the light. If you stitch a row of the bottom legs, completing the crosses with the top legs on the return it is called 'Danish' Cross Stitch. Partial stitches come in three kinds half-stitch, quarter-stitch, and three-quarter-stitch. They're very handy for detail work, shading, and rounding shapes to avoid the stair-step look.
Brake Assist System. Brake Assist measures the speed and force of brake application to determine whether the driver is attempting an emergency stop. If such an emergency is determined, the system applies additional brake pressure to allow the driver to take full advantage of the Antilock Braking System (ABS) which prevents wheel lock up.
Brake Pads Defined. A brake pad is a grouping of certain materials on a metal backing that attaches to the calipers in a disk braking system. This pad can be made from several different types of material. It serves to absorb energy and heat during the braking process, facilitating the slowing of a vehicle.
