Properly working brakes are essential to vehicle safety and reliability. When you depress your brake pedal and stop your tires from rotating, you need the confidence to know that your vehicle will come to a complete and precise stop. 1  Brake pads, shoes, drums, and rotors are made of materials that wear down from heat and friction, even under normal driving conditions.
In football, a down block means a block in the direction of the offensive center. The basic idea in down blocking is the blocker engages with and blocks the first player to come across his face. So if the OL / DL alignment is like this, a down block play on sweep to the right side (outside the RT) goes like this... RT RG C LG LT TE. LDE LDT RDT RDE.
The process of putting data into blocks is called blocking, while deblocking is the process of extracting data from blocks. Blocked data is normally stored in a data buffer and read or written a whole block at a time. Blocking reduces the overhead and speeds up the handling of the data-stream. For some devices such as magnetic tape and CKD disk devices blocking reduces the amount of external storage required for the data. Blocking is almost universally employed when storing data to 9-track magnetic tape, to NAND flash memory, and to rotating media such as floppy disks, hard disks, and optical discs.
