Derailleur gears Derailleur gears Derailleur gears are a variable-ratio transmission system commonly used on bicycles, consisting of a chain, multiple sprockets of different sizes, and a mechanism to move the chain from one sprocket to another. Although referred to as "gears" in the bike world, these bicycle "gears" are technically "sprockets" since they drive or are driven by a chain, and are not driven by one another. Modern front and rear derailleurs typically consist of a moveable chain-guide that is operated remotely by a Bowden cable attached to a shifter mounted on the down tube, handlebar stem, or handlebar.

Word RAM RAM model, and was the original motivation for the model. Dan Willard used y-fast tries to solve this in formula_6 time. Michael Fredman and Willard also solved the problem using fusion trees in formula_7 time. Word RAM In theoretical computer science, the word RAM (word random access machine) model is a model of computation that is a random access machine able to do bitwise operations on a single word of bits. The model was created by Michael Fredman and Dan Willard in 1990 to simulate programming languages like C. The word RAM model is an abstract machine similar to a
