The term hinged cap casket is somewhat confusing because almost all American style caskets are "hinged cap" caskets in the wider sense of the word, for they possess hinges which connect the lid (the "cap" in a rather imprecise terminology) with the base of the casket. Yet in the narrower sense of the word, as used by funeral directors, the term designates a somewhat outdated casket style, which is characterized by additional hinges between the "ogee" (the rim or frame of the lid) and the "crown" (the uppermost part of the lid). In a true hinged cap casket, only the crown (also called cap) is opened for viewing, not the complete - divided or undivided - lid. As the opening in the top is rather small in a hinged cap casket, the mourners oftentimes have the impression of looking into a box. Because of that, the hinged cap design has lost its former popularity and has been gradually replaced by half couch or full couch style caskets, which present the deceased in a much more favorable way during the viewing. Nowadays, the use of the hinged cap design is largely limited to traditional or orthodox Jewish caskets.

What is the maximum payment of an aeronautical engineer?
Pay depends on the job. In general, engineers make more initially out of school, but have a lower cap on salary than other jobs. For example, teachers may make about 30-40k, while you can earn 50-60k right out of school. Teachers can become principals or superintendents, and make over 100k, while engineers (without going into management) have a cap of about 100k. This is general and will change depending on the job you get. Also, remember that the aerospace industry is heavily dependent on government funding; when there are budgets to slash, air and space are always foremost on the chopping block.
What simple machines are used in a laptop?
While a laptop is predominantly an example of a complex machine, employing myriad components and technologies to perform a variety of tasks, it does incorporate certain elements that can be likened to simple machines. Simple machines are basic devices that change the direction or magnitude of a force. Here are a few examples: Lever: The keys on a laptop keyboard act as levers. When you apply a force to the key (pressing it), the key leverages that force to send a signal to the computer to register the keystroke. Wheel and Axle: The cooling fans within a laptop are examples of the wheel and axle simple machine. The central axle rotates, turning the fan's "wheel" to dissipate heat generated by the laptop's components. Inclined Plane or Wedge: The wedge-shaped design of some laptops, which are often thicker at the back than the front, could be seen as an application of the inclined plane. This design makes typing more comfortable and improves airflow under the device. It's worth noting that while these analogies can help illustrate the concept of simple machines, they are still part of a complex, interlinked electronic system that operates on principles of electrical and computer engineering.
How does a ball-point pen work?
A ball point pen uses a small ball made of brass, steel, or tungsten carbide. The ball rotates and disperses ink as you write. The goal is to distribute fast-drying thick ink without the ink drying out in the pen itself. The key to dispersing ink without it drying in the pen, is the ball itself. The ball acts as a continuous cap to prevent the ink from drying as well as a mechanism for getting the ink onto the paper. A socket holds the ball between the ink reservoir and the paper. As you write, the ball turns and gravity forces the ink from the reservior onto the ball, which transfers it to the paper. The rolling mechanism also seals the ink in the reservior from the air so it does not dry out. Roll-on anti-persperant uses the same mechanism and can be used to visualize how the mechanism works. how would i no im not a nerd
