N700S Shinkansen
The is a Japanese Shinkansen High-speed rail, high-speed train with Tilting train, tilting capability developed jointly by Central Japan Railway Company, JR Central and West Japan Railway Company, JR West for use on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, Tōkaidō and San'yō Shinkansen lines since 2007, and is operated by Kyushu Railway Company, JR Kyushu on the Kyushu Shinkansen line. N700 series trains have a maximum speed of , and tilting of up to one degree allows the trains to maintain , even on radius curves that previously had a maximum speed of . Another feature of the N700 is that it accelerates more quickly than the older 700 Series Shinkansen, 700 series Shinkansen trains, with a maximum acceleration rate of 2.6 km/h/s (0.72 m/s2). This enables it to reach in only three minutes. Further advancements led to the development of the N700A, an incremental evolution of the N700. N700A trains can reach on curves, allowing the maximum operating speed on the Tōkaidō Shinkan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ATC-NS
Automatic train control (ATC) is a general class of train protection systems for railways that involves a speed control mechanism in response to external inputs. For example, a system could effect an emergency brake application if the driver does not react to a signal at danger. ATC systems tend to integrate various cab signalling technologies and they use more granular deceleration patterns in lieu of the rigid stops encountered with the older automatic train stop (ATS) technology. ATC can also be used with automatic train operation (ATO) and is usually considered to be the safety-critical part of a railway system. There have been numerous different safety systems referred to as "automatic train control" over time. The first experimental apparatus was installed on the Henley branch line in January 1906 by the Great Western Railway, although it would now be referred to as an automatic warning system (AWS) because the driver retained full command of braking. The term is espec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Automated External Defibrillator
An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac Heart arrhythmia, arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layperson, and the use of AEDs is taught in many first aid, certified first responder, and basic life support (BLS) level cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) classes. The portable version of the defibrillator was invented in the mid-1960s by Frank Pantridge in Belfast, Northern Ireland and the first automatic, public-use defibrillator was produced by the Cardiac Resuscitation Company in the late 1970s. The unit was launched under the name Heart-Aid. Indications Conditions that the device treats An au ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kodama (train)
is one of the three train services running on the Tōkaidō and San'yō Shinkansen lines. Stopping at every station, the ''Kodama'' is the slowest Shinkansen service for trips between major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.

Travelers between major cities generally take the '' Nozomi'' or '' Hikari'' services, which make fewer stops, although the ''Nozomi'' requires paying a supplement under the Japan Rail Pass while the ''Kodama'' does not, making these services an affordable alternative. Services ''Kodama'' trains generally run over shorter distances than ''Nozomi'' and ''Hikari'' trains. Typical ''Kodama'' runs include Tokyo - Nagoya / Shin-Osaka, Tokyo - Mishima / Shizuoka / Hamamatsu, Mishima / Shizuoka / Nagoya - Shin-Osaka, and Shin-Osaka / Okayama / Hiroshima - Hakata as well as some shorter late-night runs.

Tilting Train
A tilting train is a train that has a mechanism enabling increased speed on regular rail tracks. As a train (or other vehicle) rounds a curve at speed, objects inside the train experience centrifugal force. This can cause packages to slide about or seated passengers to feel squashed by the outboard armrest, and standing passengers to lose their balance. In such excessive speeds, it generates longitudinal force that can cause the train to physically tilt on one side, eventually causing it to Derailment, derail. Tilting trains are designed to counteract this by tilting the carriages towards the inside of the curve, thus compensating for the g-force. The train may be constructed such that inertial forces cause the tilting (''passive tilt''), or it may have a computer-controlled powered mechanism (''active tilt''). The first passive Pendulum car, tilting car design was built in the US in 1937, and an improved version was built in 1939. The beginning of World War II ended development. ...
