Tilting train, a train with a mechanism enabling increased speed on regular railroad tracks
Although the AVE Class 102 is not speed-restricted in tunnels, but trains covering the Madrid-Málaga high-speed route slow down from 300 km/h to 160 km/h before entering the Abdalajís and Gobantes Tunnels, even though the Abdalajís Tunnel's curvature radius of 6900 m can theoretically support trains without tilting technology travelling at speeds of up to 392 km.
In a classic example of the mover and shaker tilting at the regulators, he introduced the Surfers Paradise Meter Maids, clad in minimal, gold bikinis and armed with sixpences employed to rescue motorists from expired parking meters.
70 million years ago the Laramide orogeny uplifted the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, steeply tilting the earlier sediments down to the east.
Some years later, Shiley improved his design in cooperation with Swedish heart surgeon Viking Björk, which led to the first tilting disc heart-valve, resulting in a much better flow of blood through the valve.
Class 220 (non-tilting) and Class 221 (tilting) 'Voyager' diesel units are used on services to the Midlands and western and southern England.
The Northern Line was modernised to allow trains to run at 220 km/h between Lisbon-Alverca, Vila Franca de Xira–Santarém, Pombal–Alfarelos and Mealhada–Espinho, and to allow full use of the tilting to achieve speeds between 140–180 km/h in the remaining intermediate sections.
The midwoofer-tweeter-midwoofer loudspeaker configuration (called MTM, for short) was created by Joseph D'Appolito as a way of correcting the inherent lobe tilting of a typical mid-tweeter (MT) configuration, at the crossover frequency, unless time-aligned.
Developed by Alstom Ferroviaria, which inherited tilting technology (including that of the British Advanced Passenger Train) after its acquisition of former producer Fiat Ferroviaria, they are built at Alstom’s Savigliano plants, in Piedmont, as well as in Sesto San Giovanni near Milan (which will supply the traction converters).
Following privatisation of the UK railways, the test track was taken over by Alstom and electrified on the 25kV overhead system in order to test the Virgin Trains tilting Pendolino fleet.
This was for safety reasons following projected speed increases to 125 miles per hour on the line by Virgin Trains' tilting Pendolino trains.
The Eternal Quest (U.S. title Tilting at Windmills; subtitle A Novel of Cervantes and the Errant Knight) is a novel published in 2003.
The tilting Gateshead Millennium Bridge spanning the River Tyne between Gateshead on the south bank and Newcastle upon Tyne on the north is a pedestrian bridge with two large hydraulic rams at each side that tilt the structure back allowing small watercraft to pass under.
In 1968, he collaborated with American engineer Donald Shiley to develop the first "monostrut tilting disc valve" used to replace the aortic or mitral valve.
