Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile

The Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile (88式地対艦誘導弾, SSM-1) is a truck-mounted anti-ship missile developed by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the late 1980s. It is a land-based version of the air-launched Type 80 (ASM-1) missile; in turn it was developed into the ship-launched Type 90 (SSM-1B) missile. The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force bought 54transporter erector launchers, each carrying six Type 88 missiles, for use as coastal batteries. With a range of 180 km (97 nmi), high subsonic speed and 225 kg (496 lb) warhead, it is similar to the US Harpoon missile.

Overview

The basic configuration composes the same launcher vehicles and loader vehicles (6 SSM-1), some radar vehicles, fire control systems, and a command control system.

Usually, the SSM-1 is launched from within 100 km (62 mi) of the coast.

    An ultrasonic motor is a type of electric motor powered by the ultrasonic vibration of a component, the stator, placed against another component, the rotor or slider depending on the scheme of operation (rotation or linear translation). Ultrasonic motors differ from piezoelectric actuators in several ways, though both typically use some form of piezoelectric material, most often lead zirconate titanate and occasionally lithium niobate or other single-crystal materials. The most obvious difference is the use of resonance to amplify the vibration of the stator in contact with the rotor in ultrasonic motors. Ultrasonic motors also offer arbitrarily large rotation or sliding distances, while piezoelectric actuators are limited by the static strain that may be induced in the piezoelectric element.

    One common application of ultrasonic motors is in camera lenses where they are used to move lens elements as part of the auto-focus system. Ultrasonic motors replace the noisier and often slower micro-motor in this application.

    Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own

    by: Sammie

    you don't get to tell your heart how to feel
    it does what it wants when it wants to
    all that you can do is pray that it lands in the hands of somebody true!
    and you don't get to tell your heart where to stay
    no it will not obey cause it knows the truth
    let's not confuse it! you try to prove it wrong
    but the heart has a mind of its own
    chorus:
    you can't run from the place that you belong
    cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
    before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    can't fight that burning in your chest
    you can't fight, feeling such a mess
    your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    you don't get to fall at the perfect time
    for someone love is ending, for someone else is just beginning
    someone is gotta cry, someone needs to know why
    but the heart tells no lies!
    and you don't get to tell your heart when it heels
    when it breaks like rock through shatter glass
    all you can ask is that the pain moves fast
    one day this too, shall last!
    by know i hope you know, it has a mind of its own!
    chorus:
    you can't run from the place that you belong
    cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
    before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    can't fight that burning in your chest
    you can't fight, feeling such a mess
    your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    it's so real, can't you see it?
    is the heart that really means it
    and the heart won't let you lie,
    it won't let love be defeated!
    sometimes is inconvenient,
    but the real truth is you need it
    cause the mind will leave you lonely
    chorus:
    you can't run from the place that you belong
    cause if you run, you'll be feeling so alone
    before you know, you'll be picking up the phone
    cause the heart has a mind of its own!
    can't fight that burning in your chest
    you can't fight, feeling such a mess
    your hear decides, but it's you that second guest
