Automated Car Parking System

An automated (car) parking system (APS) is a mechanical framework intended to minimize the range and/or volume needed for stopping autos. Like amulti-story stopping carport, an APS gives stopping to autos on numerous levels stacked vertically to amplify the quantity of carports while minimizing area utilization. The APS, in any case, uses a mechanical framework to transport autos to and from carports to take out a great part of the space squandered in a multi-story stopping carport. While a multi-story stopping carport is like different stopping lotsstacked vertically, an APS is more like a computerized stockpiling and recovery framework for autos. The paternoster is an illustration of one of the soonest and most regular sorts of APS.

APS are non exclusively known by a mixed bag of names, including:
  • Programmed stopping framework
  • Computerized stopping office
  • Computerized vehicle stockpiling & recovery framework
  • Auto stopping framework
  • Mechanical stopping
  • Automated stopping carport

Idiot



Idiot as a word derived from the Greek διώτης, idiōtēs, from διος, idios. In Latin the word idiota preceded the Late Latin meaning "uneducated or ignorant person." Its modern meaning and form dates back to Middle English around the year 1300, from the Old French idiot. The related word idiocy dates to 1487 and may have been analogously modeled on the words prophet and prophecy. The word has cognates in many other languages. An idiot in Athenian democracy was someone who was characterized by self centeredness and concerned almost exclusively with private as opposed to public affairs.

Idiocy was the natural state of ignorance into which all persons were born and its opposite, citizenship, was effected through formalized education. In Athenian democracy, idiots were born and citizens were made through education. "Idiot" originally referred to "layman, person lacking professional skill", "person so mentally deficient as to be incapable of ordinary reasoning". Declining to take part in public life, such as democratic government of the polis, was considered dishonorable. "Idiots" were seen as having bad judgment in public and political matters. Over time, the term "idiot" shifted away from its original connotation of selfishness and came to refer to individuals with overall bad judgment individuals who are "stupid".

Clethraceae


Clethraceae is a small family of flowering plants in the order Ericales, native to warm temperate to tropical regions of Asia and the Americas, with one species also on Madeira. The family comprises two genera, Clethra and Purdiaea.

In the past, most botanists included only Clethra in the family, but recent research has shown that the genus Purdiaea, previously placed in the closely related family Cyrillaceae, is more closely allied to Clethra (Anderberg & Zhang 2002).

Idiot

An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Archaically the word mome has also been used. The synonymous terms moron, imbecile, and cretin have all gained specialized meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be idiotic, and to suffer from idiocy. A dunce is an idiot who is specifically incapable of learning. An idiot differs from a fool (who is unwise) and an ignoramus (who is uneducated/an ignorant), neither of which refers to someone with low intelligence.
