Rusudan of Georgia

Rusudan (რუსუდანი) (c. 1194–1245), a member of the Bagrationi dynasty, ruled as queen regnant (mepe) of Georgia in 1223–1245.

Life
Daughter of Queen Tamar of Georgia by David Soslan, she succeeded her brother George IV on January 18, 1223. George's untimely death marked the beginning of the end of the Georgian Golden Age. Rusudan was unable to preserve whatever was gained by her mother and brother. She was known as a beautiful woman devoted to pleasure, whose hand was sought by her Muslim neighbors. In Muslim sources, such as Ata-Malik Juvayni, Rusudan was known as Qiz-Malik, from the Turkish qiz, "maiden", and the Arabic malik, "king".

In the autumn of 1225, Georgia was attacked by the Khwarazmshah Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu, pursued by the Mongols. The Georgians suffered bitter defeat at the Battle of Garni, and the royal court with King Rusudan moved to Kutaisi, when the Georgian capital Tbilisi was besieged by the Khwarezmians. A year later Jelal ad-Din took Tbilisi on 9 March 1226. The citizens fought courageously and over 100,000 lost their lives when the city fell to the Khwarezmians. The defeated Georgians were ordered to change religion and become Muslims, but refused and almost the whole population of Tbilisi was massacred. In February 1227, the Georgians took advantage of Jelal ad-Din's failures in Armenia, and retook Tbilisi, but soon were forced to abandon the city – which they themselves had set alight in their battle with the occupation forces. Rusudan made an alliance with the neighbouring Seljuk rulers of Rüm and Ahlat, but the Georgians were routed by the Khwarezmians at Battle of Bolnisi, before the allies could arrive (1228).

The Khwarezmians were superseded by the Mongols. They advanced into Georgia in 1235. Devastated and plundered by Jelal ad-Din's incursions, Georgia surrendered without any serious resistance. By 1239 all the country was under the Mongol yoke, and had to accept the Georgian–Mongolian treaty of 1239. Rusudan had to pay an annual tribute of 50,000 gold pieces and support the Mongols with a Georgian army of 80,000 soldiers.

Fearing that her nephew David would aspire to the throne, Rusudan held him prisoner at the court of her son-in-law, the sultan Kaykhusraw II, and sent her son David to the Mongol court to get his official recognition as heir apparent. She died in 1245, still waiting for her son to return.

Family
She married in 1224 to the Seljuk prince Ghias ad-Din, a grandson of Kilij Arslan II who converted to Christianity on his marriage. They were the parents of David VI of Georgia and a daughter named Tamar, who married her cousin, the sultan Kaykhusraw II, and following his death in 1246, the Pervane Mu'in al-Din Suleyman as one of the preconditions of the peace settlement.

Intelligent Parking Assist System

Intelligent Parking Assist System (IPAS), also known as Advanced Parking Guidance System (APGS) for Toyota models in the United States, is the first production automatic parking system developed by Toyota Motor Corporation in 1999 initially for the Japanese market hybrid Prius models and Lexus models. The technology assists drivers in parking their vehicle. On vehicles equipped with the IPAS, via an in-dash screen and button controls, the car can steer itself into a parking space with little input from the user. The first version of the system was deployed on the Prius Hybrid sold in Japan in 2003. In 2006, an upgraded version debuted for the first time outside Japan on the Lexus LS luxury sedan, which featured the automatic parking technology among other brand new inventions from Toyota. In 2009, the system appeared on the third generation Prius sold in the U.S. In Asia and Europe, the parking technology is marketed as the Intelligent Park Assist System for both Lexus and Toyota models, while in the U.S. the Advanced Parking Guidance System name is only used for the Lexus system.

Development
The initial version of the Intelligent Parking Assist System, launched in 2003, was designed for reverse parallel parking. Driver intervention was not required, as the system estimated the size of the parking space and maneuvered the vehicle appropriately. This was done by an onboard computer which used a camera built into the forward and rear of the car. Sensors located at similar locations detected the proximity of nearby vehicles. The dashboard displayed an image of the lot, and the driver would then have to determine the exact position that the vehicle in the lot via the arrows which appeared on the screen. Using the arrows, the user would set the location of the vehicle in the space. When satisfied, the user pressed the "Set" button, which then activated the IPAS. The system then took over steering control to maneuver the vehicle.

Early versions of this system had difficulty detecting objects, including cats, baby prams and pedestrians. Secondly when the driver activated the system in a too small a space, the system constantly flashed warning signals to inform the user of the danger of hitting the vehicle. User assistance is required in such situations. In 2005, an upgraded version added recognition capability for parking stripes. A later version of this parking technology, launched in 2006, added integration with parking sensors. This latest version could calculate the steering maneuvers needed for parallel or reverse parking, and help determine that the car has enough clearance for a particular space with colored screen displays which indicated adequate or inadequate space.

Technology
The IPAS/APGS use computer processors which are tied to the vehicle's sonar warning system feature, backup camera, and two additional forward sensors on the front side fenders. The sonar park sensors, known as "Intuitive Parking Assist" or "Lexus Park Assist", include multiple sensors on the forward and rear bumpers which detect obstacles, allowing the vehicle to sound warnings and calculate optimum steering angles during regular parking. These sensors plus the two additional parking sensors are tied to a central computer processor, which in turn is integrated with the backup camera system to provide the driver parking information.

When the sonar park sensors feature is used, the processor(s) calculate steering angle data which are displayed on the navigation/camera touchscreen along with obstacle information. The Intelligent Parking Assist System expands on this capability and is accessible when the vehicle is shifted to reverse (which automatically activates the backup camera). When in reverse, the backup camera screen features parking buttons which can be used to activate automated parking procedures. When the Intelligent Parking Assist System is activated, the central processor calculates the optimum parallel or reverse park steering angles and then interfaces with the Electric Power Steering systems of the vehicle to guide the car into the parking spot.

Functions
Newer versions of the system allow parallel or reverse parking. When parallel parking with the system, drivers first pull up alongside the parking space. They move forward until the vehicle's rear bumper passes the rear wheel of the car parked in front of the open space. Then, shifting to reverse automatically activates the backup camera system, and the car's rear view appears on dash navigation/camera display. The driver's selection of the parallel park guidance button on the navigation/camera touchscreen causes a grid to appear (with green or red lines, a flag symbol representing the corner of the parking spot, and adjustment arrows).

The driver is responsible for checking to see if the representative box on the screen correctly identifies the parking space; if the space is large enough to park, the box will be green in color; if the box is incorrectly placed, or lined in red, using the arrow buttons moves the box until it turns green. Once the parking space is correctly identified, the driver presses OK and takes his/her hands off the steering wheel, while keeping the foot on the brake pedal. When the driver slowly releases the brake, while keeping the foot on the brake pedal, the car will then begin to back up and steer itself into the parking space.

The reverse parking procedure is virtually identical to the parallel parking procedure. The driver approaches the parking space, moving forward and turning, positioning the car in place for backing into the reverse parking spot. The vehicle rear has to be facing the reverse parking spot, allowing the backup camera to 'see' the parking area. Shifting to reverse automatically activates the backup camera system, and the driver selects the reverse park guidance button on the navigation/camera touchscreen (the grid appears with green or red lines, a flag symbol representing the corner of the parking spot, and adjustment arrows; reverse parking adds rotation selection). After checking the parking space and engaging the reverse park procedure, the same exact parking process occurs as the car reverse parks into the spot.

The system is set up so that at any time the steering wheel is touched or the brake firmly pressed, the automatic parking will disengage. The vehicle also cannot exceed a set speed, or the system will deactivate. When the car's computer voice issues the statement "The guidance is finished", the system has finished parking the car. The driver can then shift to drive and make adjustments in the space if necessary.

Press reports
The debut of the parking technology in the United States in 2006 received widespread media attention, with demonstrations performed on television shows ranging from cable news programming to The Oprah Winfrey Show. In automotive publications, the feature garnered mixed reviews, with opinions on its utility varying from useful to impractical, depending on the parking situation and driver.

A video from CNBC showed the system working "quite effectively" with a first-time user and other reviewers found that the system worked smoothly. A video produced by Automobile Magazine demonstrates how the system makes parking more difficult, due to some complexity to the touchscreen.

 * A demonstration by Winding Road magazine.

Advertising
Lexus capitalized on the debut of the parking system in the U.S. with its LS flagship with two ads. The first, "Pyramid," depicted a driver parking a car between two stacks of glasses using the system. A second ad showing a montage of different technologies, followed finally by a demonstration of the parallel park feature, and a man stating that he never thought this technology could possibly exist.

The system was also referenced by competitors Audi and Hyundai in their own advertisements. Audi marketed their 2007 A4 as "the luxury car for people who can park themselves," and showed a professional driver swing into a tight parallel parking space. Hyundai's advertisement for the 2007 Azera listed a side-by-side feature comparison between the Azera and the LS460, reaching a conclusion that although the Azera lacks the style, luxury, performance, class, and comfort of the LS, its savings can pay for valet.

Rotor
Is eKA 60 Kamov only non co-axial rotor helicopter --Jno 15 February 2005
 * Not exactly. - The Bushranger (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Kasatka
Kasatka is not the orca in russian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.167.112.66 (talk) 10:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * A complex issue. :) Russian page search for it turns up a killer whale (and wiktionary has Orca as 3rd definition. Article has had it as Orca for a long time. Proofreader77 (talk) 11:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Касатка is orca and swallow (bird). 217.173.18.179 (talk) 17:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

No, you are wrong, and you didn't even bother to put in some arguements. The helicopter is called "Kasatka". There a 2 very similar words: "kasatka" (Касатка (use translators, if you need)), which means barn swallow, and "kosatka" (Косатка), which means orca. The difference is just one letter, and both words are pronouced the same. It confuses people very often. Also, russians more likely would call this bird "деревенская ласточка" (literally "village swallow"), which is second name for this species, or just "ласточка" ("swallow"), which is name for the whole genus of birds, "касатка" it not very common name. At the same time, much more people know about orca ("косатка"), then about one of names of one particular scecies of genus. This is a usual solicism, when they and type or write "касатка" instead of "косатка", while they mean "orca". I hope I shed some light on this occasion. 78.37.214.148 (talk) 12:07, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Strangly enough, Kamov itself refers to the helicopter as the Kasatka (Касатка) and "Killer Whale".Nigel Ish (talk) 14:58, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Eurocopter influence?
My first impression when looking at the photo of the Ka-60 was: It looks like a Eurocopter. Then the article Kamov says: "Kamov is merging with Mil and Rostvertol to form Oboronprom Corp." Then the article Mil says: "Mil participates in the Euromil joint venture with Eurocopter." So does anyone know more about this connection, and its possible influences? --BjKa (talk) 12:30, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

problem
The Ka-62 isn't the civilian version but a new helicopter with french engine after the ka-60 failure.

RSS in Wikipedia

 * For Wikipedia RSS feeds see Syndication or Syndication_feeds

I've removed the link somebody added to Syndication per the avoid self-references policy. Basically, if you were to look at an encyclopedia article about RSS (in print, or on another website), you wouldn't expect that to get a prominent mention, so you shouldn't expect it here. There may be some argument for mentioning that link somewhere, perhaps using the "selfref" template, I think this disambiguation page would be too prominent a position anyway. Of course, anyone is entitled to disagree, so I thought I'd state my view here. - IMSoP 15:43, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree. If you look to the WP:Syndication page "What links here", you see this policy is limited. Also for some users it might be a helpful navigation. I added it back.--ThomasK 18:25, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

 * Looking at Special:Whatlinkshere/Wikipedia:Syndication in no sense proves that the "policy is limited" - it merely proves that the policy is badly enforced! The argument that "for some users it might be a helpful navigation" is a good one, but in my view (and according to the current text of Avoid self-references) it is overridden by the fact that a Wikipedia article is intended to be a section of content of an encyclopedia, not a part of the project that is creating that encyclopedia. If you take this article (or the article "Web syndication", or any other) out of the context of this website, it should still be appropriate as an encyclopedia article; a link to Syndication doesn't make sense in any other context than this website, so is not appropriate.

 * I'm going to remove the link from here, and the other articles in that whatlinkshere list, and point people to this discussion if they disagree. - IMSoP 12:39, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * syndication should stay, essentially disambiguation. I completely agree with ThomasK. One of the most important ways to interact with wikipedia is syndication feeds from wikipedia.  I have had a difficult time myself attempting to find, and eventually implement additional feeds originating here.  These would include 'feeds of personal watchlists', but really, feeds of everything.  A comment in my talk page was the only reason i found the syndication page initially.  WP:RSS should be top of the list.. in the sidebar even.  Indeed -- Here 05:14, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Another week, makes a huge difference ;) I think WP:ASR easily applies here, and the link to syndication should be removed.  It should remain here on the talk page. ∴ here…♠ 15:28, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Atom
I don't see how RSS can possibly mean "Atom." That's like saying that Windows might mean Macintosh. Jsnell 00:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The link to Atom was originally included in a break-down of the different file formats referred to as "RSS". I personally think that break-down should be reinstated, so as not to "disambiguate" to just another disambiguation list, but in the meantime I've fixed the reference to Atom to make sense in the current context. - IMSoP 12:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I have changed the refence from "an extreme right wing..." to "a right wing...", because the earlier statement was POV. --Andy123 11:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Receive Side Scaling
I've suggested a couple of times that there should be an entry to the networking interpretation of RSS. RSS is important to disambiguate because a simple Google search result in more than 2 billion hits.

RSS is a new technology buzzword in high performance networking. The best and most concise explanation of network RSS I know is on the Microsoft site (they standardized the process). A Wikipedia article on the subject would be basically saying the same thing, (though could add more detail such as history, but I don't know it), hence, I posted a link. It's just as important as many of the 802.3 minor standards.

Primary topic
This is not an official start of a primary topic discussion, but perhaps in lieu of one I thought I'd share the page view comparison of RSS and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which is actually quite interesting: |Rashtriya_Swayamsevak_Sangh. The political party has been quite steady in the 50k to 100k monthly range for years, with a uptick in recent months. RSS has sometimes been in that same range, but for the past year was consistently above 500k, and then a couple months ago suddenly plummeted 90% to 50k. Seems really hard to predict where those are going to go. My 2 cents: a solid argument could be made for there being no primary topic, but I think there's virtually no chance of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh becoming primary, even with long-term significance taken into account. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:26, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree there is no primary topic - the maths one also gets high views. I don't agree your analysis, btw, the Indian paramilitary group (not a party) sees huge spikes when they are in the news at the daily/weekly level. RSS should be moved, & the plain term go here. The RSS graph is certainly rather odd. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is btw, as one might expect, almost invariably referred to just as "RSS" in the Indian media, as "NATO" is in the West.  Johnbod (talk) 16:27, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that there is no longer a clear primary topic – the popularity of and support for RSS web feeds has declined enormously since the page was created in 2002, as RSS details. I'd suggest moving RSS (disambiguation) to RSS, and RSS to RSS (web feed). The former would require an admin, I think. Qwfp (talk) 19:09, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Um, ok, I wasn't really providing analysis so much as just describing what's on the graph in case someone else came along and didn't bother to click the link. At any rate, I would probably be WP:BOLD and move the DAB page to the base name, but I think there will be technical restrictions so I have to make a request, which will likely result in a move discussion anyway. I guess we'll see. -- Fyrael (talk) 19:33, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oops, I hadn't noticed Qwfp's response before mine. -- Fyrael (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Also the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, as part father-movement to the BJP, has no doubt got much higher views since Modi came to power. Johnbod (talk) 20:33, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
