![]() “The SEIE worked great, which instilled confidence, not to mention being very comforting to all of us working on submarines.”Ĭmdr. ![]() “Not many people get to do things like this in their whole Navy career,” said Halsey. While thrilled at the experience, Halsey also said it was reassuring to know that the escape system works. Los Angeles crew member Fire Control Technician 2nd Class (SS) Gary Halsey was one of the Sailors given the chance to participate in a tandem escape. Now I can show them the data and the statistics so it will benefit them, because if you see one of your shipmates being blasted out of a submarine, it’s the best way to ensure them the system works.”Īfter Daoust, there were three tandem escapes. “I have a lot of confidence in the system. “I teach this procedure on a daily basis,” said Daoust. nuclear-powered submarine, and couldn’t wait to return to his students with his firsthand knowledge. Daoust said he was honored to be the first to escape from a U.S. The submarine submerged to 130 feet, where each of the seven divers donned the SEIE suits, entered the escape trunk, and ascended.Ĭhief Navy Diver (DSW/SW) Sean Daoust, a submarine escape instructor at the Naval Submarine School in Groton, Conn., was the first to ascend. Navy divers, as well as a British diver from the Royal Navy. The assembly is comprised of a submarine escape and immersion suit, an inner thermal liner and a gas inflated single seat life raft, all contained in an outer protective stowage compartment.įor the exercise, Los Angeles embarked six U.S. It is designed to enable a free ascent from a stricken submarine and provides protection for the submariner on reaching the surface until rescued. The MK10 Submarine Escape Immersion Equipment, or SEIE, allows survivors to escape a disabled submarine at depths down to 600 feet, at a rate of eight or more men per hour. ![]() “It’s imperative that our sub crews be familiar and comfortable with this operating procedure no matter how remote the potential for its use.” “Today, submarines spend a greater amount of time in the littorals or shallow water, which supports the overall concept of escaping from a possible distressed submarine,” said Howard. submarines operate more frequently now in shallow coastal waters, said Submarine Development Squadron (CSDS) 5 Commander Capt. The Navy’s renewed interest in submarine escape comes as U.S. ![]() Navy had not conducted it in more than three decades, and never from a nuclear-powered submarine. While several foreign navies practice the maneuver routinely, the U.S. 2 during ESCAPEX at the Navy’s Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility in Ketchikan, Alaska.

The WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle with effect from 1 January 2022. * The stated consumption and emissions values were determined in accordance with the legally stipulated measurement procedure. Digital Matrix LED and digital OLED technology make it possible to achieve maximum brightness and a wide range of features even with a minimal surface area, while at the same time offering customizable light signatures. They are the flattest headlights we have ever implemented at Audi. The layout of the LED headlights is extremely progressive. The eye-catching quattro wheel arches effectively – even more clearly than on cars with combustion engines – accentuate the width of the body and are simultaneously integrated organically into the side surfaces. We’re giving up hard edges and consequently arranging soft transitions in the body of the car. ![]() The Audi A6 e-tron concept appears monolithic, as if from a single mold – particularly when viewed from the side. The concept shows how form and function are combined into the most perfect possible synthesis at Audi. To what extent are the lines of the Audi A6 e-tron concept a consistent advancement in Audi’s current design vocabulary?Īs far as the design vocabulary for Audi models is concerned, the e-tron concept generally represents the next evolutionary step. And in the lower section, the rear diffuser’s generously sized air outlet is integrated into the spoiler area. The upper rear end is shaped to create an aerodynamically functional breakaway edge. The influence of the wind tunnel on the rear end is also unmistakable. A characteristic feature is the large enclosed – we designers say “inverted” – Singleframe grille. Looking at the front, it is immediately apparent that the Audi A6 e-tron concept is a fully electric-powered representative of the brand. ![]() At the same time, the fine-tuning in the wind tunnel has once again resulted in an organic design with exceptional elegance and harmony down to the last detail. In layman’s terms, this means the car exhibits minimal aerodynamic drag – which initially translates into lower energy consumption and therefore extended range. Its cW value of just 0.22 is hard to beat in the electrified C-segment. With its sporty proportions and elegant lines, including the fastback design typical of the brand, one look and you can see that this vehicle was conceived in a wind tunnel. What role do aerodynamics play in the Audi A6 e-tron concept? So the Audi A6 e-tron concept represents more of a soft transition where Audi’s traditional lines and proportions also have their place. Right in the C-pillar we still want to use the classical, elegant Audi proportions. We want to build highly emotional and highly efficient automobiles with beautiful lines, but that don’t necessarily need to look different. It means that, specifically where cars with electric engines are concerned, is it particularly important to us to be able to also retain the classic proportions, among other things. That means that Audi customers don’t have to give up the classic shape of a limousine or a Sportback? ![]() That, in turn, makes a flat silhouette possible. So with the battery, we’re working with length and width, not height. We created a great deal of space between the axes, which we were able to use to position the battery. With the Audi A6 e-tron concept, we were able to design a long wheelbase. That means we can implement a wide array of different vehicle concepts, meaning cars with high ground clearance like SUVs and CUVs, but also synthesize vehicles with flat architecture like the Audi A6 e-tron concept without needing to interfere with the basic architecture. Thanks to the platform’s variability, I can play with the wheelbase and shorten or lengthen the fantail accordingly. At that stage of development, I actually had more leeway than I otherwise would have. The first major challenge was accommodating that big battery in order to be able to design an elegant, sporty car on that basis. As an auto designer, does the PPE architecture give you more freedom or does the new technology constrain you further? The electric Audi A6 e-tron concept uses the Premium Platform Electric, or PPE for short. ![]() ![]() ![]() Others might take two or more, meaning you’ll have to collect more orbs before you can finish them. Some enemies can be executed using one charge. The Swarm Launcher shoots a barrage of fireworks at unlucky enemies. ![]() It’s a cool effect that can give you a bit of breathing room during a fight, but was it the best choice given the situation? Well, it depends. ![]() For instance, executing an ice-based enemy will allow you use their brain as a freeze bomb. Whenever you execute an enemy in this game, you’ll be rewarded with either a Gore Tool, Weapon or some sort of buff. In Shadow Warrior 3, however, this mechanic is taken a step further with the introduction of Gore items. Fill up a finishing charge by collecting orbs (found in the environment or dropped by enemies) to eventually execute foes for health and ammo. At first glance, they’re similar to the gory executions found in the recent Doom games. The new finisher system adds an interesting wrinkle. This little mechanic is a superb way of managing ammo during a fight as it negates the sometimes lengthy reloading animation instead of waiting for Lo Want to slowly reload the Crimson Bull (grenade launcher), you can swap between it and the katana to instantly load the weapon while running about. Quick reloading with the katana are especially helpful during boss fights. During that quick switch, from gun to katana and back, the game reloads your weapon. Hitting the Left Mouse Button/Right Trigger will fire weapons while pressing the Right Mouse Button/Right Bumper will swing your katana (on PC and consoles respectively). Shadow Warrior 3 allows players to quickly swap between the katana and whatever gun you’re currently holding by pressing a corresponding attack button. What makes the katana such a valuable tool though is its ability to reload your guns. ![]() It even receives an elemental upgrade that allows it to do electric, fire, and ice damage. This weapon can disembowel enemies in quick fashion. That said, the devs over at Flying Wild Hog made sure to keep certain elements, like melee weapons, at the forefront. Gory kills, environmental hazards, highly kinetic firefights-it’s more akin to Doom Eternal than it is to previous Shadow Warrior games. Shadow Warrior 3 features a revamped combat system. Here are some of the ways you can utilize these tools early on. Thankfully, Shadow Warrior 3 offers a range of tools built around new game mechanics that not only help in staving off death but also to brutally dispatch foes. What makes this task difficult at times is the number and variety of enemies that spawn during a given encounter. As Lo Wang, you’ll need to know how to properly use an assortment of weapons while engaging in fast-paced combat akin to id Software's Doom. Most of your time in Shadow Warrior 3 will be spent shooting and dodging projectiles in various arena like environments. Essentially, Shadow Warrior 3 offers a wild ride with a few challenging twists and turns. Full of demons, wise-cracking gods, and a protagonist seemingly ripped from a bad grindhouse film, this juvenile but mostly entertaining shooter doesn’t pull its punches. Shadow Warrior 3 is an adrenaline-fueled romp through a violently chaotic world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). All of the product information originated from the manufactures. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research.

His torn jacket fell to the ground and was covered in Sans' dust. "Papyrus, do you want anything?" Sans whispered painfully before he slowly dusted. Sans then took Papyrus' hand and walked away with his brother and friends. ![]() Megalovania faded out into the distance, he then saw his friends stand up, and open their arms in welcome to their friend/family member Papyrus began to step foward and he held out his hand to his dying older brother. you're right, I have no purpose anymore." Sans agreed, then he slowly turned to Chara, "Welp, I'm gonna go to Grillby's" he lied to Chara, he didn't want her to know that he was defeated. "You did your job, you have nothing left to do, brother, you don't have to stay, you are dying." He finished. "Sans, just let go." Papyrus said slowly, unsure about his words. And blood began flowing heavily from his chest, his hand wasn't enough to stop the flow. Throwing up the spaghetti and ketchup he ate and drank earlier. "Thanks, guy-" Sans began before he threw up on the gold floor. "I may not know you that well, dearie, but you made me and all of the spiders in the underground proud of you!" Sans was overwhelmed by his friend's and aquaintence's assurance, he then began to cry openly, sad about everyone's demise, he was clearly ignoring Chara, who was laughing evilly behind him, he believed I'm King Asgore, he knew Asgore would win if he just tried hard enough. "You did your best, darling." He encouraged. ![]() Muffet, with her arms crossed across her body and smiling solemnly at the small skeleton, and Mettaton NEO, not being self centered for once, Behind Papyrus, stood more painfully familiar figures, Toriel, with her elegant purple and white robe, a bittersweet smile on her face and tears in her eyes, Undyne, flashing her signature toothy grin and her long red hair waving in the breeze, tears threatening to spill out of her good eye. "Yes it is, Sans, I love you so much and I am so proud of you." Papyrus answered, his voice a strange echo against the walls. ![]() "P-Papyrus?, is that really you?" Sans asked, fighting back tears and spitting blood onto the shiny golden floor. He gasped, despite the pain in his chest at what he saw, he saw a shimmer of white that slowly turned into a ghostly figure of Papyrus with his arms outstretched, his scarf blowing in the breeze drafting through the judgement hall, with his slightly cracked battle body and scuffed boots and his torn gloves. Looking up through tears in his eyes, his blue eye stopped glowing brightly and was replaced with a calm white dot. Then he slowly stood up, swaying a little. He knew he only had a limited time to live left, he then said a few words to Chara, but he couldn't even hear his own voice to determine what he was saying. His worries lifting off of his chest until he felt a burning sensation through his ribs, then he started to bleed and some blood spattered out of his mouth, staining his white teeth, he kept his smile and fell onto his butt and held his chest in an attempt to stop the blood flow. "You ready for my special attack? That's right, it's nothin', we're gonna stand here, forever." Sans then started to fall asleep, hoping to dream about everyone being alive again, Papyrus, Undyne, Toriel, Muffet, he even missed Mettaton a little, surprising, right? His eyelids slowly drooped, then he started to softly snore. He then mustered up the strength to fire a widespread barrage of random sized bones at the kid, too tired to continue he then said his last words. The blue beams crackling and sparkling like electricity around him, he wasn't sure how long the battle was lasting anymore, and he wasn't sure how long his battle song, Megalovania was playing on repeat, the angry notes like a surround sound stereo system. He summoned two larger Gaster Blasters and fired them at the murderous human. "GET DUNKED ON!" Sans angrily screamed, his voice becoming scratchy because of yelling at Chara so much during their battle. ![]() ![]() ![]() On cell screens, the icons become clearer, and on computer monitors it gives you a larger workspace. 1440p can also be beneficial on screens too small to notice picture quality because of the increased definition it gives to the small images. Making videos look good isn’t the only important difference. But for a television screen you watch from a distance, it’s hard to notice much of a difference moving to 1440p unless your screen is larger than 65 inches. For a computer screen a couple of feet away from your face, you can see a difference if your screen is any larger than 27 inches. Whether or not this change is noticeable to you depends on the size of your screen and how close you are to it. To begin with, if you’re moving from 1080p to 1440p, there’s a huge difference in video picture quality. But when you have the choice, what are the advantages to the resolution? Why choose it over 1080p and 4K? There are obviously scenarios where you have no option but to use QHD. ![]() That’s one of the reasons we’ve made certain AV.io 4K and Pearl-2 are fully capable of working with QHD, capturing and recording with either Pearl-2 admin panel or a software of your choice. ![]() This means that if you are interested in capturing and recording, there are lots of times when you will need to capture a 1440p source. Just about anywhere you look for 1440p, you can find it. Any 4K camera is also capable of 1440p, and you could even find a small portable 1440p source from GoPro. 1440p is also quite common in cellphones, as it provides a tremendous increase to the pixel density on the small screen and improves the definition of the small images.Īnd of course, you’ll also find it easily in video sources such as cameras. Recently, gaming consoles have also made a foray into 1440p, with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One S both increasing their compatibility with QHD and 4K. It’s one of the most ubiquitous computer gaming resolutions, and the cost of a QHD laptop is reasonable. The most common places you can find 1440p resolutions is on laptops. After you’ve read that paragraph a few times, let’s move on to real world applications. However, don’t confuse it with UWQHD! Ultra-Wide Quad HD actually has a resolution of 3440×1440, and is distinct from 1440p. You might also see 1440p referred to as WQHD, Wide Quad HD, indicating that its aspect ratio is 16:9 as opposed to 4:3. It’s also called Quad High Definition, or QHD, because it is four times as large as the HD definition, 720p. ![]() Now that you know more about why 1440p is named that way, let’s throw another name for it at you. By contrast, progressive resolutions constantly paint all lines, giving a much higher quality picture. Switching back and forth between these gives a full picture of the screen to the human eye, but also results in the distinctive “flicker” phenomenon associated with older CRT monitors. The letter after the number, a ‘p’ in this case, refers to how the resolution is drawn on the monitor, indicating if it’s progressive (1440p) or interlaced (1440i).Īn interlaced resolution is painted on the screen in alternating frames, with even number frames displaying only even numbered lines, and vice-versa. Those familiar with the nomenclature for resolutions probably know that the number refers to the height, in pixels, of the resolution. Let’s explore its common uses and benefits! Why is it called 1440p? But though 1440p might be the most neglected of the three resolutions, it still has a lot to offer. Although televisions considered making 1440p the new standard after 1080p, it was never universally adopted, and the new standard is now 4K. There’s a few reasons for that, and they’re worth exploring. Its high picture quality makes it popular in laptops and cellphones, but it is not as ubiquitous as 1080p or 4K. 1440p, or QHD, is an extremely high definition resolution in between Full HD and 4K. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here we discuss where and how to use the Colors in Matlab with different examples implementing it. All these capabilities are achieved by MATLAB in significantly less amount of time when its performance is compared to a non-interactive programming language like C. In addition to its computing powers, MATLAB also provides its users with the ability to draw and visualize the data for better understanding and drawing inferences. As you must be familiar with the point that arrays do not require any dimensioning, and thus enabling MATLAB to solve problems related to computing, especially those involving matrix & vector formulations with better performance. MATLAB as a system utilizes arrays as its basic data element. Similarly, if we need to have our plot in the shape of triangles facing upward, we will subscript or color code with ‘^’ which is the code for upward-facing triangles. So as explained previously, we will simply replace ‘r’ in our code with ‘y’ for YELLOW color. Output: Now, the output will be the same as above but this time in ‘RED’ color, as shown in the below graph:įinally, let us try it for YELLOW color. ![]() To convert our graph into ‘RED’ color we will simply add ‘r’ to out code, as follows: Now let us convert it into colors of our wish. Output: The output for this function will be in ‘BLUE’ color by default as shown in the below graph. Let us now understand the use of some of the above-mentioned colors: Example #1įirst, we will plot a graph and will let MATLAB plot it with default color: It is simple to draw an inference in this case as we mostly associate the red color with danger or word of caution.īelow is the list of some letters which we can add to our code to provide the desired color to our plot while plotting in MATLAB. For example, red color can be used to show negative trends in some data and green to show positive trends. It is straightforward and easy to visualize a trend in data when it is plotted as compared to just looking at the raw figures and color-coding gives it an even stronger appeal. First, we use plot function to create a graphical representation of our data and then we use a specific code to get the graph of the desired color. As the name suggests, the purpose of colors in MATLAB is to plot the graph of a function with the desired color. The objective of this article is to have a thorough understanding of Colors in MATLAB. MATLAB comprises a number of techniques and functions to perform the above-mentioned capabilities. ![]() If you want, you can customize these aspects of your plot. These defaults provide a clean and consistent look across the different plots you create. If a figure does not exist, MATLAB creates a figure and sets the palette for that figure. Specify colorarray as a matrix of RGB triplets or an array of color names such as 'red' 'green' 'blue'. Hadoop, Data Science, Statistics & others Where can we Use Matlab?īelow are a few areas where we can use Matlab: Trial Software Product Updates Specify Line and Marker Appearance in Plots MATLAB creates plots using a default set of line styles, colors, and markers. The color order controls the ordering of the colors MATLAB uses for plotting multiple data series within an axes. ![]() ![]() Vvivid's flat colors ( non-metallics) in my opinion have outlived the interest of the buyers, just had a 4.5 year matte black come back perfect.Cheetah wraps is okay, havent used much of it, very thin and have had glue issues on trims ( never did a full wrap, dont know ).Orafol is a safe bet but I have had major shrinkage issues with some of their colors in the past but generally is good. ![]() I never had a hexis wrap out live the material, it would usually come back after a year for a rewrap because of corners and edges.
