Cummins B Series Engine
The Cummins B Series is a family of diesel engines produced by American manufacturer Cummins. In production since 1984, the B series engine family is intended for multiple applications on and off-highway, light-duty, and medium-duty. In the automotive industry, it is best known for its use in school buses, public service buses (most commonly the Dennis Dart and the Alexander Dennis Enviro400) in the United Kingdom, and Dodge/Ram pickup trucks. Since its introduction, three generations of the B series engine have been produced, offered in both Inline-four engine, inline-four and Straight-six engine, inline-six configurations in multiple displacements. General engine features The B-series features Cylinder (engine), engine bores machined directly into the block (rather than the wet liners used on earlier Cummins engines). It is also set apart by the use of a shallow one-piece head, requiring closer tolerances than in other Cummins products. Unlike earlier diesel engines the B-serie ...

Chevrolet/GMC B Series
The Chevrolet and GMC B series are a series of cowled chassis that were produced by General Motors. Produced across three generations from 1966 to 2003, the model line was a variant of medium-duty trucks marketed under the Chevrolet and GMC nameplates. Initially derived from the medium-duty C/K series, later examples were derived from the GMT530 architecture. The B-series was constructed as a cowled-chassis design; also known as an incomplete vehicle, all bodywork aft of the firewall was produced by a second-stage manufacturer. While primarily used for school bus applications, General Motors offered the chassis for multiple commercial and specialty uses. Following 2003 production, the B-series was discontinued as GM concentrated on bus production derived from cutaway cabs. Until its 2009 discontinuation, the medium-duty GMT560 chassis was used for bus applications (only in a cutaway configuration). As of current production, General Motors provides bus chassis for both school ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Transperth B-series Train
The B-series trains are a class of electric multiple unit built by Downer Rail in Maryborough, Queensland for Transperth Train Operations, Transperth between 2004 and 2019. Design Each set consists of three semi-permanently coupled cars designed to be used in either a three-car or six-car formation. The trains were designed to use AC motors rather than DC traction motors like the previous Transperth A-series train, A-series, and to have a maximum service speed of . In each set, IGBT inverters power eight AC traction motors distributed along the three cars, providing a 66% motorised unit. These trains are similar in design to Queensland Rail's Interurban multiple unit#160 series, IMU160/Suburban multiple unit#260 series, SMU260 EMU, V/Line VLocity DMU, and Adelaide Metro 4000 class EMU trains. The B series trains were originally built concurrently with the V/Line VLocity. History Perth's first electrified trains, the two-car Transperth A-series train, A-series, entered ser ...

A Series And B Series
In metaphysics, the A series and the B series are two different descriptions of the temporal ordering relation among events. The two series differ principally in their use of tense to describe the temporal relation between events and the resulting ontological implications regarding time. John McTaggart introduced these terms in 1908, in an argument for the unreality of time. They are now commonly used by contemporary philosophers of time. History Metaphysical debate about temporal orderings reaches back to the ancient Greek philosophers Heraclitus and Parmenides. Parmenides thought that reality is timeless and unchanging. Heraclitus, in contrast, believed that the world is a process of ceaseless change, flux and decay. Reality for Heraclitus is dynamic and ephemeral, in a state of constant flux, as in his famous statement that it is impossible to step twice into the same river (since the river is flowing). McTaggart's series McTaggart distinguished the ancient conceptions ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Butcher Series
In mathematics, the Butcher group, named after the New Zealand mathematician John C. Butcher by , is an infinite-dimensional Lie group first introduced in numerical analysis to study solutions of non-linear ordinary differential equations by the Runge–Kutta method. It arose from an algebraic formalism involving rooted trees that provides formal power series solutions of the differential equation modeling the flow of a vector field. It was , prompted by the work of Sylvester on change of variables in differential calculus, who first noted that the derivatives of a composition of functions can be conveniently expressed in terms of rooted trees and their combinatorics. pointed out that the Butcher group is the group of characters of the Hopf algebra of rooted trees that had arisen independently in their own work on renormalization in quantum field theory and Connes' work with Moscovici on local index theorems. This Hopf algebra, often called the ''Connes–Kreimer alge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Series B
A venture round is a type of funding round used for venture capital financing, by which startup companies obtain investment, generally from venture capitalists and other institutional investors. The availability of venture funding is among the primary stimuli for the development of new companies and technologies. Features Parties *Founders or stakeholders. Introduce companies to investors. *A lead investor, typically the best known or most aggressive venture capital firm that is participating in the investment, or the one contributing the largest amount of cash. The lead investor typically oversees most of the negotiation, legal work, due diligence, and other formalities of the investment. It may also introduce the company to other investors, generally in an informal unpaid capacity. *Co-investors, other major investors who contribute alongside the lead investor. *Follow-on or piggyback investors. Typically angel investors, high-net worth individuals, family offices, instit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Series B Banknotes
The Series B banknotes () of Ireland replaced the Series A banknotes. The banknotes were issued between 1976 and 1992 by the Central Bank of Ireland, before being replaced in 1993 by Series C banknotes.Central Bank of IrelandSeries B (1976/82 - 1989/ 93)/ref> Banknotes The Central Bank announced its intention for the new banknotes in December 1971 and Servicon, an Irish design company, was employed to design the notes of the denominations; £1, £5, £10, £20, £50 and £100. The £100 note was never issued or circulated; this remains somewhat of an idiosyncrasy in the issue of Irish banknotes as this is the only series without a note of this denomination. The series was Legal Tender from 1976–1995, although not printed after May 1993. The theme chosen for these notes was history of Ireland, and each note featured the portrait of a person with this theme in mind from a particular era from historic to modern and complementing visual elements. The portrait of Lady Lavery pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
