Unlike the Brompton or Birdy, this fold is not particularly compact; in fact, it is larger than many wheel folding bicycles (such as those from Dahon). However, the tikit's claim to fame is the speed of the fold in its "Hyperfold" model. Here, the action of rotating the rear of the bike slackens an internal cable which enables the handlebar stem to be folded. As a result, no quick release clamps, latches, or locks are involved in the fold.

The ethyl chloride vaporises into an expansion chamber as the temperature rises, compressing a spiral spring; with a fall in temperature the gas condenses and the spring slackens. This motion constantly winds the mainspring. A temperature variation of only one degree in the range between and , or a pressure variation of 3 mmHg, is sufficient for two days' operation. To run the clock on this small amount of energy, everything in the Atmos must be as friction-free as possible.

The horse's groom should be well-trained. He should not tie the halter to the manger where the rope meets the head, as the horse is likely to knock his head on the manger and injure himself. The sores will then make him less tractable when bridled or groomed. He should also tie the horse at a point above the level of his head, so that, when the horse tosses his head, he slackens the rope rather than tightening it.

The trajectories he builds are shaky but his screenplay is engrossing enough to not let you slip even in the slack moments." Mint gave a highly positive review, calling it a "spectacular tribute to 1970s' Hindi cinema", and wrote that it "moves at a satisfying clip from the beginning to the end. It's formula food for the present day, spiced with flamboyance, a fair sense of rhythm that occasionally slackens during the 153-minute running time, and a clear understanding of the meaning of popular entertainment, Hindi movie style.

Orson Welles wrote a contemporary review of the film which said , "It isn't as slick as Double Indemnity or as glossy as Laura, but it's better acted and better directed ... than either." (He and Castle later worked together on The Lady from Shanghai). James Agee later wrote "The story has locomotor ataxia at several of its joints and the intensity of the telling slackens off toward the end; but taking it as a whole, I have seldom, for years now, seen one hour so energetically and sensibly used in a film".

Jack grabs onto Locke to prevent him from being pulled into a hole, though Locke pleads with Jack to let him go. Jack then instructs Kate to drop a stick of dynamite into the tunnel, which causes an underground explosion, resulting in black smoke coming out of a nearby hole on the horizon, and disappearing. The hold on Locke slackens and they are able to extract him. Jack and Locke discuss the situation, and Locke says that Jack is a man of science, but that he is a man of faith.

There are also quieter periods at times, when the dryline retrogrades somewhat back to the southeast, temporarily returning low level continental air and its much lower precipitable water levels to the affected areas, when the monsoon flow tendency periodically slackens. Pulses of low level moisture are transported primarily from the Gulf of California and eastern Pacific. The Gulf of California, a narrow body of water surrounded by mountains, is particularly important for low-level moisture transport into Arizona and Sonora. Upper level moisture is also transported into the region, mainly from the Gulf of Mexico by easterly winds aloft.

Smith, 70–74 Another Waterloo work was given to the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.Smith, 79 Other religious paintings were bought for London churches, and a new competition announced for two works on Nelson's victories to be given to Greenwich Hospital. In 1826 the Institution announced that nearly £5,000 in premiums, and over £14,000 on purchases had been spent to date, but from the 1830s the number and size of premiums slackens and the last premiums were in 1842, after which sums like £50 were given to artists' charities instead, and in later years no donations are recorded. In 1850 the Institution recorded a total of £28,515 in purchases, prizes and donations since 1806.

Both end with a cam (obscured in the attached sketch), which via a follower and a rocking arm holds one end of each rope. If the input shaft rotates from the null position, its cam raises or lowers the input follower, which via the rocking input arm tensions the rope on one drum and slackens the other. In that state, one drum applies much greater traction than the other, resulting in both the output shaft and a cage mounting the input and output arms moving to track the input. As soon as the cage and the output shaft have moved to the correct position, the tension in the two ropes regains equilibrium and relative motion stops.

It has been well documented in online forums, including www.bimmerpost.com, that thousands of early production N20 engines were manufactured with faulty internal plastic timing chain guides. Evidence indicates that defective polycarbonate compositions were utilized in the manufacturing process for the timing chain guide, and as a result over a very short period of time the rigid plastic guides would break down and deteriorate in the engine with little or no warning. Upon failure of these internal plastic components, the timing chain slackens (becomes loose) and "skips time" by jumping teeth on upper cam shaft sprocket, a phenomenon that causes catastrophic damage to the engine by un-synchronizing the cam shafts and valve train.

The boat's crew pushes down on the fore and after wire, to relieve pressure on the pins, and the pins are removed. The boat's skipper is usually positioned in the stern of the seaboat as it is lowered, in order to be ready to steer the seaboat away from the ship's side. When the seaboat is close to the water as judged by the seaboat's skipper, the skipper gives the command to "Slip", and a crew member releases a lever on the disengaging clip, which slackens the fore and after. The slack in the fore and after allows the disengaging hooks to release the falls simultaneously, and the seaboat drops safely and level the final few inches into the water.

The reverse relation occurs when the buoy moves upwards, then the line force becomes larger the bigger difference there is between the motion of the buoy and the generator translator. If the wave height (the difference between wave crest and wave trough) is larger than the stroke length, the translator will reach a standstill at the lower end stop. At the upper end stop the wave flushes over the buoy and at the lower the line slackens. In both of these cases no power is produced (voltage induced) until the translator starts to move again. This happens when the wave is lower than the buoy’s top position in the upper state, and in the lower state when the wave has risen so much that the buoy once again starts to pull the translator upwards.

The New York Times called The Ghost and Mrs. Muir "a pleasurable film, despite its failings," singling out Edna Best for "by far the best performannce [sic]". In the writer's opinion, Harrison "has such an ingratiating personality that this compensates in large measure for the lack of characterization in his role," but Tierney "is a pretty girl, but has no depth of feeling as an actress." Variety, on the other hand, praised the actors and the film unreservedly: > “Gene Tierney gives what undoubtedly is her best performance to date. It’s > warmly human... the out-of-this-world romance pulls audience sympathy with > an infectious tug that never slackens. In his role as the lusty, seafaring > shade, Rex Harrison commands the strongest attention...Philip Dunne’s script > lards the R. A. Dick novel with gusty humor and situations that belie the > ghostly theme.

The New York Times review by Frances Padorr Brent somewhat criticised both the translation, which is British-inflected, and the writing, which at times "slackens, as if the task of including everything about Ruzyně exhausts the author". Still, at its best, Padorr Brent said, "it is a record of human kindness that for those of us who have lived our lives in freedom can only be compared to the care sometimes given to loved ones who are sick". A Los Angeles Times review of the book wrote that "the clarity, the imagination, the wit, the odd detail, the light- filled corners of Kantůrková's darkest observations are in the best Czech literary tradition" and that it "may indeed be the best novel of its genre since Solzhenitsyn's far bleaker One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." Publishers Weekly called My Companions in the Bleak House a "stunning tour-de- force".

This 'lumbering animal of a story,' as he calls it, combines the appeal of a family saga set against tumultuous events with the technical bravura of innovative fiction." The book's translator, Howard Goldblatt, nominated it for the 2009 Newman Prize for Chinese Literature, writing "it puts a human (and frequently bestial) face on the revolution, and is replete with the dark humor, metafictional insertions, and fantasies that Mo Yan’s readers have come to expect and enjoy."Howard Goldblatt, Statement nominating Mo Yan for the Newman Prize for Chinese Literature Kirkus Book Reviews called the novel "epic black comedy...This long story never slackens; the author deploys parallel and recollected narratives expertly, and makes broadly comic use of himself as a meddlesome, career-oriented hack whose versions of important events are, we are assured, not to be trusted. Mo Yan is a mordant Rabelaisian satirist, and there are echoes of Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy in this novel's rollicking plenitude.

Quote in the original French: "...cette pièce vulgaire, sans intrigue, sans caractères, sans moeurs." The New York Times correspondent reported the play's resounding success with the audience, but like many commentators of the day, including Favre, largely attributed it to Sarah Bernhardt's powerful performance, noting that: > There is not much of play, a mere outline at best, made to fit like a glove > the talent and personality of Bernhardt who is all and everything, but who > should or could complain? The interest never slackens; there is enough > dialogue and apropos to keep both gratification and amusement entertained, > and the story enobles itself magically in the hands of the greatest living > actress.New York Times (12 December 1987) p. 2 Writing from the perspective of the late 20th century, Nicassio agrees that Bernhardt's performance as a character essentially like herself, a celebrated, amorous, and temperamental diva, was undoubtedly a key factor in the play's success with the Paris audience.

" David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a "B+", saying: "Schumer's latest comedy could have used a few more polishes — it's a little flabby towards the backend, even if its star is totally fine just as she is — but it never slackens in its conviction that the world reflects how you feel about yourself, or in how empowering that can be if you come at it from the right angle." Varietys Peter Debruge gave the film a moderately positive review, saying, "What sets I Feel Pretty apart is the inspired premise that Renee's transformation takes place entirely in her head, while those around her are left befuddled by her sudden change of attitude – a concept that begs the question of why our society encourages women to second-guess their self-image in the first place." J.R. Kinnard of PopMatters wrote, "The only people who won't be bored by I Feel Pretty are those whom it offends. It's a gross miscalculation that might mean well, but fails to balance the sharpness and delicacy necessary to tackle the emotional carnage wrought by self-hatred.

Thus, the standing part of the rope is represented by the top anchor point in the diagram, and the theoretical ratio is indeed 3:1 when the working end is tensioned. That is, in a frictionless system, every unit of force exerted on the working end would produce 3 units in the standing part of the rope over the load. In the typical use of the trucker's hitch, where it is used to tighten a rope over a load, when the end is secured to the loop of the Truckers hitch and let go, the tension in the two segments of rope around the ring will rise 50%, unless the rope slackens when it is being tied off, in which case the tension may drop to any value or even zero if enough slack is allowed. But when the trucker's hitch is used as in the diagram, after tying off, the load on the attachment point above the top pulley will drop to 100 N and the tension in the two lines going to the lower pulley will not change.
