Bumper

The mesh double bumper is the newest NASA derivative of the Whipple bumper concept.

Look at that bumper.

I'm not sure it's wise you're doing this. The highways are packed bumper to bumper the radio says.

The whole bumper was hanging off.

44. The stuffed Whipple bumper consists of an outer bumper, a catcher and one or more underlying layers of materials spaced between the bumper and the catcher to further disrupt and disperse the impactor.

The Whipple bumper is most effective at high impact velocities.

There was so much ice in 1992, the following year, that there was a bumper crop of polar bear cubs who were known as the Pinatubo cubs.

The bumper of the car hit my throat, slicing it open.

This design also provides significantly improved performance over the standard Whipple bumper.

The Whipple bumper, the simplest shield configuration, consists of a single plate of material (typically aluminium), called the bumper, spaced some distance from the underlying module wall (often called a catcher).

(c) protection against rear impact which may consist of a bumper or frame

Our bumper sticker for this view is that this is the joy of debugging.

16. Supplies of coffee are also plentiful thanks, for example to the bumper Brazilian harvest.

And you have to have a bumper sticker, you know. You have to have a statement.

43. More than 100 different shields have been designed to protect various critical components of ISS, although all of the designs are modifications of three primary shielding configurations the Whipple bumper, the multishock (or stuffed Whipple) shield and the mesh double bumper shield.

The outer surface of the pressurized module will be covered with a bumper to guard against space debris.

To give you an example, between 2001 and 2002, Ethiopian maize farmers produced two years of bumper harvest.

The role of the bumper is to break up, melt or vaporize a high velocity object on impact.

India has suffered, like most developing countries, from declining foreign investment, poor export performance, and a depreciating currency. But even pessimistic estimates project 5 growth in the coming fiscal year, and a good monsoon should ensure a bumper harvest.

Despite a reported bumper harvest in 2004, large areas of the country remain severely affected by drought and food insecurity.

While the NASA space debris damage model Bumper predicted 13 window replacements in 12 shuttle missions, the actual number of replacements was 19.

This arrangement results in an improved performance over the standard design and, with some bumper materials (like Nextel), reduced production of secondary ejecta.

Even now, there is enough food in the world, with a bumper harvest this year, but more people cannot afford to buy the food they need. Addressing this growing crisis is the aim of the Global Conference on Food Security in Rome on June 3 5.

In current ISS designs, the outer bumper is made of aluminium and the shield is usually stuffed with six layers of Nextel and six layers of Kevlar.

Britain offers generous tax concessions for oil and gas exploration, including bumper deals for companies involved in fracking. The United States spends heavily to subsidize gasoline and other fossil fuels.

This illustrates that the two bumper plates before the main plate provided no protection against the debris impact with 14 g in mass and 2 km s in collision velocity.

The smaller, slower remnants of the object then travel between the bumper and the catcher and spread the remaining energy of the impact over a larger area on the catcher.

As the UNHCR programme phased out in June 1996, a bumper harvest was being collected, due to good rains, large areas were under cultivation and there was continued peace in the country.

Bumper shields should be positioned at sufficient distance from the shielded object to ensure a wide dispersion of the fragment cloud, created as a result of the impact of the debris particles on the shield.

Holly Willoughby has left Dragons Den star Peter Jones fuming by pulling out of their lucrative lifestyle brand business at the last minute to focus on her own new bumper contracts with Marks Spencer and ITV.

In the State of Minas Gerais, for example, a private company provided funding for the printing of car bumper stickers reading Don t run over women s human rights . Discussion with Ms. Rosiska Darcy de Oliveira, op. cit.

Year after year after year, absolutely incredible.

Year after year, after year, after year, they're more innovative than all their competition.

NASDA has conducted a series of impact tests, by using a two stage hydrogen light gas gun, to design the JEM Stuffed Whipple bumper and a carbon fibre reinforced plastic tube for the arm of the JEM Remote Manipulator System.8

And year after year

Last year was the biggest year.

Blowin' like this year after year.

My lost year was my jubilee year.

One fiscal year is still one year.

It could be this year, or this year.

Year in which three year term expires on

A year. What is a year to you?

Different modelling and simulation tools are available to predict the damage resulting from impacts on various shield designs (e.g. the NASA BUMPER model, the ESA ESABASE model, the Russian BUFFER model and several hydrocodes to perform simulations under conditions not possible using ground based test facilities).
