"If they stood on one leg consistently, they would risk greater loss of body heat and potential tissue damage in the cold, " says Anderson.
Thermal efficiency is how much of the potential heat energy of the fuel used is actually returned as work at the wheels.
He took the box and sat with it on his lap on a helicopter flight as pilots fired flares to deflect potential heat-seeking missiles.
Even in darkness, its high-power thermal scope reads body heat to locate potential targets, providing a low-risk defense against snipers. ( 160K AIFF sound or 160K WAV sound) More important is the deterrent factor.
His furnace is 12 years old and 13% oversized, with the potential to heat 1.1 homes.
Boeing must now find a way to reduce the potential for heat propagating throughout the battery, perhaps by moving the cells further apart or adding more heat sensors.

In icy Tomsk, the potential for heat loss is even worse: astonishingly, the pipes that carry warm water around the district heating network of Seversk and Tomsk are completely uninsulated.
Using a magnetic gate like this has potential to reduce the heat involved in processing large amounts of information, which could lead to much faster chips.
In addition to the discomfort and potential danger, the heat could wreak havoc on crops, especially corn, said Chad Hart, assistant professor of agricultural economics at Iowa State University.
However, large-bodied animals typically retain heat quite easily and actually have more of a potential problem with overheating.
"The potential for decentralised, biomass-fuelled heat and power networks is huge, and their use will contribute significantly to many of the government's energy policy goals, " Mr Ahmed added.

Once home, launder your clothes and dry them on high heat for at least 30 minutes to kill all life stages of the potential hitchhikers.
"If anyone out there needs to get out of the heat or just recover, rest up, get hydration, there are shelters set up in the potential impact area, and we encourage people to go there, " he says.
The potential efficiency savings from such projects are immense, says Neal Elliott, an expert on combined heat and power (CHP) systems with the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
Unfortunately, while those parts of the world could have been limited to Greece and Iceland, and maybe California, with deft political action, instead we are now looking at the potential breakup of the euro and (it is weird to be writing this in the 107F heat of Arizona) the loss of its AAA credit rating by the biggest economy on earth.
Other potential examples: an app that suggests a midpoint for a client meeting, or that can pre-heat your oven and turn up your home thermostat when you get close to home.
