A canopy bed is a decorative bed somewhat similar to a four poster bed . A typical canopy bed usually features posts at each of the four corners extending four feet high or more above the mattress. Ornate or decorative fabric is often draped across the upper space between the posts and a solid swath of cloth may create a ceiling, or canopy directly over the bed. History The canopy bed came into existence more for utilitarian means rather than for extravagance or decadence. In fact, the earliest incarnations were probably beds of common people seeking an additional layer of shelter beyond that of a less than impenetrable thatch roof. Canopy beds with curtains that could completely enclose the bed were used by lords and noblemen in medieval Europe for warmth and privacy, as their attendants often slept in the same room. Until the 16th century, these beds, even those of the nobles, were fairly plain and understated. During this period, carved work on the headboard and posts became popular and more ornate canopy beds followed.

A Canopy express is a light duty cargo van based on the chassis of a panel truck . Canopy express vehicles have open display areas behind the driver s seat commonly used for peddling vegetables and fruit, but also used for other kinds of deliveries that require easy access, such as newspapers and radio equipment. Canopy express trucks evolved as a more stylized version of standard pickup trucks that contained open canopies installed over the pickup bed. They were built by Dodge , General Motors , and International Harvester as well as other manufacturers. Ford Canopy Express trucks were merely aftermarket conversions of their existing panel trucks. As the United States became more suburbanized after World War 2, sales of canopy express vehicles declined. Dodge ceased production of these trucks in 1948, while GM offered the last of them in 1955.

Canopy interception is the rainfall that is intercepted by the Canopy biology canopy of a tree and successively evaporate from the leaves. Precipitation that is not intercepted will fall as throughfall or stemflow on the forest floor. Many methods exist to measure canopy interception. The most often used method is by measuring rainfall above the canopy and subtract throughfall and stem flow e.g., Helvey and Patric 1965 ref Helvey, J. D., Patric, J. H., 1965. Canopy and litter interception of rainfall by hardwood s of Eastern United States. Water Resources Research 1 2 , 193 206. ref . However, the problem with this method is that the canopy is not homogeneous, which causes that it is difficult to obtain representative throughfall data. Another method that tried to avoid this problem is applied by e.g., Shuttleworth et al. 1984 ref Shuttleworth, W. J., Gash, J. H. C., Lloyd, C. R., Moore, C. J., Roberts, J. M., et.al, 1984. Eddy correlation measurements of energy partition for Amazonian forest . Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 110, 1143 1162. ref , Calder et al. 1986 ref Calder, I. R., 1986.

They covered the forest floor with plastic sheets and collected the throughfall. The disadvantage of this method is that it is not suitable for long periods, because in the end the trees will dry due to water shortage, and the method is also not applicable for snow events. The method by Hancock and Crowther 1979 ref Hancock, N. H., Crowther, J. M., 1979. A technique for the direct measurement of water storage on a forest canopy.

The detachment arrived in Kashechewan on October 30, 2005 and, according to media reports, was producing treated water from raw water obtained from the Albany River within 12 hours of arrival. OP Canopy continued until December 16, 2005.

Orphan date September 2011 cleanup date September 2011 A smoke canopy is a device hung over a fire to gather the smoke and vent it through a wall or roof. File Decameron 1432 cooking on spit.jpg thumb upright left Fowl roasting on a spit. Smoke from the fire rises to the smoke canopy, and is vented through the wall or ceiling Decameron The Decameron , Flanders , 1432. Fireplace s were not used during much of the Middle Ages, because there were no chimney s, which were not invented until the 12th century. Most fires for heating were placed on hearths in the middles of rooms, and the smoke was allowed to rise to vents in the roof or high in walls. Smoke canopies provided an alternative, gathering the smoke above a fire and venting, usually through a wall. Most of the pictures we have of medieval smoke canopies show them being used in kitchens. They usually appeared over hearths that were placed against stone walls. Some were over free standing hearths, but this required special venting of the smoke.
