Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, a plastic used to make molded (or injected) card bodies for certain cards (see also PVC)
Common abbreviation for American Bureau of Shipping, a classification organization that issues guidelines (scantlings) and reviews vessels' design and construction for seaworthiness Similar international societies are: Lloyds Register (LR), and Bureau Veritas (BV) The letters next to a vessel's loadline indicate which bureau approved her Note that Coast Guard rules concentrate on safety equipment not construction - B -
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene: a thermoplastic composed of styrene and acrylic resin
- Antilock Brake System A component added to the braking system that detects wheel lock up The system then modulates the brakes at that point with the idea of stopping you faster than you could yourself
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene Used for drain and vent lines Back to alphabetical list
The plastic used to make molded (or injected) card bodies for certain cards (See PVC)
Computer, sensors and solenoid valves which together monitor wheel speed and modulate braking force if wheel lockup is sensed during braking Helps the driver retain control of the vehicle during heavy braking on slippery roads
Abs are the same as abdominals. Throughout the exercise, focus on keeping your abs tight. antilock braking system. absolute temperature. the abbreviation of anti-lock braking system. the muscles on your abdomen (=stomach)
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a common plastic material used for the manufacture of molded card bodies

This is the 'Trade' Association for UK Business Schools Most major Schools are members There are membership criteria but it is not specifically intended that membership is a quality indicator for a School or any of its programs Some smaller or newer Schools may not be members
Assembly Breakdown Structure A representation of the physical structure of the end result of a large scale project The ABS takes into account assembly constraints such as position and installation sequence While PBS comprises the manufacturing and assembly information of functional components, the ABS displays the assembly sequence and the related installation information of the components forming the whole system
an acroynm for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers, which are elastomer-modified styrene plastics; a thermoplastic
A form of plastic that is easy to form but is not crash-resistant HPI Racing does not use this type of plastic for any kit parts, however some of our 24mm white wheels are made from ABS, which is slightly lighter than the high-impact nylon used in our other wheels
(Otomotiv) Advanced technology designed to prevent brakes from locking up regardless of brake pedal pressure. Anti-lock braking systems have become increasingly popular because they enhance traction in slippery conditions and allow you to keep steering control of a vehicle, even in a skid
