"As the design of the route develops from the one that was announced in January, these meetings are an important way to report back on issues such as the need for and location of maintenance loops and possible construction sites, " a spokesman said.
For instance, scientists need to use pi when calculating how "loops" -- particles that transform themselves into other particles, and then come back together to make the original particle again -- contribute to a particle's mass.
The unique Loop Recorder also allows DJs to capture and overdub audio loops from the live mix, cue signal or an external input on the fly, and drop them back into the mix at any time.
