nonsynchronous

Examples

• All

• A nonsynchronous motor, attached to each synchronous motor through an in-line flexible shaft coupler, drives the system to synchronous speed for normal operation.

  Academic text (1996)

• The travel time of flow down the river system, combined with nonsynchronous tributary inputs and larger downstream channel and floodplain storage capacities, acts to attenuate and dampen flow peaks.

  Academic text (1997)

• A critical speed map can be created by the user's input of bearing stiffness. Other capabilities of synchronous and nonsynchronous vibration can be added.

  Academic text (1994)

• When his attention turns to the dying wife, however, he may be observed to commence narrating in a slower, much more deliberate manner (rather than simply narrating the scene, he may be said to evoke it), suggestive of, perhaps, the domain of mythic or nonsynchronous time:

  Academic text (1995)

• The nonsynchronous operation of the devices caused a delay in the overall project timeline.

• In the experiment, the nonsynchronous responses from the participants made it difficult to analyze the results effectively.

• The team decided to schedule their meetings at nonsynchronous times to accommodate everyone’s availability.
