It can be used to incorporate test transactions into a normal production run of a system. Its advantage is that periodic testing does not require separate test processes. However, careful planning is necessary, and test data must be isolated from production data. Integrated testfacility is considered a useful audit tool during an IT audit because it uses the same programs to compare processing using independently calculated data.

The Mirror Fusion TestFacility , or MFTF , was an experimental magnetic confinement fusion device built using the magnetic mirror , or so called yin yang design. It was designed and built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory LLNL , one of the primary research centers for mirror fusion devices. The project was canceled just before operation was to start. Following on from the earlier Baseball II device, the facility was originally a similar system in which the confinement area was located between two horseshoe shaped mirrors . During construction, however, the success of the Tandem Mirror Experiment TMX led to a redesign to insert a solenoid area between two such magnets, dramatically improving confinement time from a few milliseconds to over one second. ref http adsabs.harvard.edu abs 1980EnTR.....R...1 The Tandem Mirror Fusion TestFacility ref Most of the fusion power would be produced in the long solenoid, the yin yang magnets serving only to dam up the ends in order to maintain good plasma confinement in the solenoid. Limited to break even energy balance, the magnetic mirror endcaps actually consume power, but much less than that produced in a solenoid of sufficient length. The new version, officially MFTF B, started construction in 1977 and was completed in 1986, on the very day the project was canceled by the Reagan administration Department of Energy. No experiments were performed. Rollbacks in fusion research funding dramatically reduced funding levels across the entire field. Parts of the MFTF have since been re used on newer fusion experiments, one such re use winning a recycling award. ref https www.eh.doe.gov p2 p2awards nomination view jsp.asp?site OAK&year 2002&docNumber 1 Re using MFTF parts ref References references Category Fusion reactors ... more details

refimprove date February 2011 A pylon turn is a flight maneuver in which an aircraft banks into a circular turn, in such a way that an imaginary line projecting straight out the side of the aircraft nominally the wing points to a fixed point on the ground. The maneuver originated early in the 20th century in air racing . Racing The pylon turn was originally used in air racing , where courses were set up with pylon disambiguation pylon s to mark a location on the ground, and the planes would have to turn around at that point before returning to the airstrip. Pylons are also used in triples to set up a triangular circuit for aviation races races in which all competitors must stay outside of the three pylons. Delivery In the film End of the Spear , a maneuver conceived of as a pylon turn is depicted as a method to deliver messages or packages by plane without needing to land. The film depicts a former World War II pilot in 1955 using a bucket on a line to give gifts to the Huaorani people of Ecuador where there was no landing strip. He is shown to circle a spot near the village in such a way that the bucket would remain stationary on the ground, permitting transfer of material. Some mail services have used the same technique to deliver mail where there are no available landing strips. Dubious date February 2012 Reason The physical do ability is in doubt.
