Bored of the Rings (video game)


Bored of the Rings is a text adventure game released by Delta 4 in 1985 for several computer systems written using The Quill. It was also released by CRL Group. The game is inspired by, but not based on, the "Bored of the Rings" parody novel published by Harvard Lampoon. The earlier game "The Hobbit" is also parodied. It was followed by a prequel in the same spirit, "The Boggit". Fordo the Boggit, Spam, Pimply and Murky must take the Great Ring to Mount

Too large a gap may give unacceptable compression and levels of blow-by gases or oil consumption. When piston gap is measured in a used bore, it may serve to indicate either excessive bore wear or ring wear, or a combination of both types of wear.

dial bore gauge, the accuracy of the measurement will be 0.002 inches or 0.0508 millimeters. A ring gauge can be used to obtain higher accuracy at a higher cost and higher time requirement. When a dial bore gauge is set using a ring gauge, overall accuracy can be within 0.0001 inches or 0.00254 millimeter. A dial bore gauge has a contact needle that is housed inside the head of the dial bore gauge. The needle is moved when measuring the bore and mechanically or electronically transfers that data to the dial or readout.

Murder off Miami


Murder off Miami is a 1986 whodunnit adventure video game based on the book of the same name by British thriller novelist Dennis Wheatley. The game was written by Fergus McNeill, who had previous authored "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" parody games "The Boggit" and "Bored of the Rings". It was based on a novel of the same name by Dennis Wheatley; this text already had some interactivity through the use of physical clues provided with the book such as a blood-stained curtain and

Signal Transfer Point


A Signal Transfer Point (STP) is a router that relays SS7 messages between "signaling end-points" (SEPs) and other signaling transfer points (STPs). Typical SEPs include "service switching points" (SSPs) and "service control points" (SCPs). The STP is connected to adjacent SEPs and STPs via signaling links. Based on the address fields of the SS7 messages, the STP routes the messages to the appropriate outgoing signaling link. Edge STPs can also route based upon message body content using

The ring gap may be checked by placing the ring into the bore/liner (squared to bore) and measuring it with a feeler gauge. The end gap should be within recommended limits for size of bore and intended "load" of engine. Because metals expand with a rise in temperature, too small a gap may result in overlapping or bending when used under hot running conditions (racing, heavy loads

Broadwell Ring


The Broadwell Ring is a small ring found in French and German artillery. It sits in a recess at the rear end of the bore, and abuts against a flat plate. When the gun is fired, the rapidly expanding gases produced by the combustion of gunpowder force the Broadwell Ring against the plate, sealing the end of the bore against escape and directing the full force of the explosion toward propelling the bullet. The Broadwell Ring is readily removed and replaced for maintenance purposes. MODERN ORDNANCE, A paper read Feb. 8,

. SEPs send signaling messages to other SEPs, but the messages are normally routed via the SEP's adjacent STPs. An STP's main function is to identify the best path for two SEPs to communicate. A typical application would be for two SEPs to agree on the use of a shared data path (e.g., using ISUP to initiate a voice call between a user on one SEP and a user on the second SEP). In this way, STPs route signaling messages (for starting, maintaining or finishing any kind of

The final structural process is machining the neck outer surface, boring and cutting the neck threads and O-ring groove. The cylinder is then heat-treated, tested and stamped with the required permanent markings. Aluminium diving cylinders commonly have flat bases, which allows them to stand upright on horizontal surfaces, and which are relatively thick to allow for rough treatment and considerable wear.

Piston ring


A piston ring is a split ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine such as an internal combustion engine or steam engine. The main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are: The gap in the piston ring compresses to a few thousandths of an inch when inside the cylinder bore. Piston rings are a major factor in identifying if an engine is two stroke or four stroke. Three piston rings suggest that it is a four stroke engine while two piston rings suggest that it

It is considered good practice to build a new engine with the ring gaps staggered around the circumference of the bore. This means that any escaping gas must negotiate a labyrinth before escaping past the rings. However, while the engine is running, the rings will tend to rotate around the piston and not remain in the position as fitted. Many rings will then stick in one spot at random and

Leafy spurge stem boring beetles are mainly used for control of the leafy spurge. They are combined with about 10 other Eurasian insect species, and are used to biologically control leafy spurge. The approval for the introduction of the beetle species occurred in 1980. Fifteen years later, the leafy spurge stem boring beetle was widely distributed in at least fifteen US states and several Canadian provinces. Although

The cardinal's ring is conferred by the pope himself in the consistory, in which the new cardinal is named to a particular "title", which is to say, in the title of a particular saint and at the level of either a cardinal priest or cardinal bishop. In the past, a cardinal's ring was usually set with a sapphire, while it bore on the inner side of the bezel the arms of the pope conferring

Somatosensory evoked potential


Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning. By combining SEP recordings at different levels of the somatosensory pathways, it is possible to assess the transmission of the afferent volley from the periphery up to the cortex. SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in

SEP contributions and earnings are held in SEP-IRAs and can be withdrawn at any time, subject to the general limitations imposed on Traditional IRA. A withdrawal is taxable in the year received. If a participant makes a withdrawal before age 59½, generally a 10% additional tax applies. SEP contributions and earnings may be rolled over tax-free to other Individual retirement account and retirement plans.

Noting that some sleeve valve engines suffered far less from such wear, complex designs such as a rotating cylinder liner have been considered, just to address this problem. Most automotive pistons have three rings: the top two, while also controlling oil, are primarily for compression sealing (compression rings). Meanwhile, the lower ring is for controlling the supply of oil to the liner, which lubricates the piston skirt and

Retaining ring


A retaining ring is a fastener that holds components or assemblies onto a shaft or in a housing/bore when installed - typically in a groove - for one time use only. Once installed, the exposed portion acts as a shoulder which retains the specific component or assembly. Circlips are a type of retaining ring. Circular push-on retaining rings may be installed in applications where there is no groove. Retaining rings are typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel or beryllium copper and may feature a variety of finishes for aesthetics

A spherical plain bearing is a bearing that permits angular rotation about a central point in two orthogonal directions (usually within a specified angular limit based on the bearing geometry). Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the inner ring that must move not only rotationally, but also at an angle. Self-aligning spherical bearings were first used by James Nasmyth around 1840 to support line shaft bearings in mills and machine shops. For long shafts it was impossible to accurately align bearings, even if the shaft was
