![]() ![]() In size, the brakes were similar to the 911 Carrera, now also on the base Cayman. Both PDK and manual transmission cars were equipped with this system. Without the need to use the handbrake, the new system prevented the car from rolling forwards or backwards when setting off on a gradient by automatically holding the brakes in position and then letting go in a controlled process after the driver released the brake pedal. The cars also came as standard with a new feature called Start-Off Assistant. Whenever the driver lets go of the gas pedal very quickly, the hydraulic control unit builds up pressure on the brakes and moves the pads slightly towards the discs before the driver even presses the brake pedal. The 987.2 generation came with the new braking system that shortens stopping distance in an emergency situation. The base engine grew from 2.7 to 2.9 litres. The fuel was now injected directly into the cylinder instead of the inlet port. The second technical feature to support the lowering of the CO2 emissions were the new engines with the direct fuel injection system. The PDK would be perfect if you could adjust the car in a way that the engine revolutions would never drop below 2000 rpm. You cannot make it better with pressing the Sport-button either as in this case the revs are too high for permanent use. And as such, the car is programmed to use very low rpm – which makes the car a dog at city speeds. The PDK was part of the solution to reduce CO2 emissions. Changing two gears sequentially is slow with PDK because these gears are on the same shaft. It is not the case when you need to change 2 gears down, for example when taking over. While changing one gear at the time is eye blink fast with the PDK as what happens is a clutch change, not a gear change. The official acceleration numbers are better for the PDK, but these numbers are measured from the moment the car starts to move. Regarding the acceleration times with the PDK, it should be mentioned that in real life a manual transmission car is faster from traffic lights, because you have to set up the launch with the automatic. The PDK is not so comfortable in the city as the Tiptronic used to be, but it is super fast at the race track when used in Sport Plus mode that comes with the Sport Chrono package. ![]() One transmission unit comes with gears 1, 3, 5, 7 and reverse, the other operates gears 2, 4 and 6. The PDK is made up of two transmission units connected via separate clutches with the drivetrain. The more comfortable, but not so sporty Tiptronic was replaced with the 7-speed PDK (Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe). ![]() The biggest news with the facelifted version of the original Cayman came for the drivers preferring automatic gear change. The advantage is that it reduces the increase in foot pressure required in the course of time until reaching the wear limit. In the eyes of the 46-strong jury the Cayman S impressed with its “perfect combination of outstanding handling, looks and performance.”įrom the 987.2 generation, the manual gearbox has a self-adjusting X-Tend clutch registering the gradual decrease in clutch pad thickness and, by turning an adjustment ring, setting off and compensating the gap caused by clutch pad wear. At the New York International Auto Show, the Cayman S was awarded World Performance Car of 2006. Autocar magazine called it “brilliant” and “Porsche´s most focused sports car”. The price increase from Boxster to Cayman was 8-10%.ĪutoWeek’s editors named the Porsche Cayman S the best car at the 2005 Frankfurt motor show. Another strange thing: the fixed roof coupé was more expensive than the roadster with its electrically folding top. The plus was the more rigid chassis, the minus the weight not saved. With the Boxster 987 as the base, it was a rare occasion in the world of car construction that a coupé was built on the platform of an open car. ![]()

It is no secret that AI has started to help every industry including the medical one. The best part is Luma AI is completely free. This makes the AI app a must-have for people who want to try out shots not easily achievable in real-life. You can even create a custom video with keyframes of your choice including the object. Or if you wish you can just upload it to the public gallery for everyone to see. Once done, users can use this mapped-out 3D object in any environment of their choosing. Luma AI then requires a small amount of wait for it to fully process the render. While this is a bit tedious, it’s required. Once on the app, users need to map out an object using their phone’s camera to fully capture it. The app uses a combination of intricate capture and photorealism to then place the objects in any clip or condition.

Strategic use of ineligible receivers is placing a high-value receiver that has been declared ineligible in positions that host eligible receivers.įor instance, teams can put a running back that has been declared ineligible at the end of a scrimmage line. Lastly, you can know ineligible players if they take the under-center position in the T formation. If they go out of bounds, then they become ineligible. However, the player must still line one yard behind the line of scrimmage. The referee must then announce and inform teams the player has become eligible. Linemen wear numbers 50-79 and are never eligible unless the referee is informed. Secondly, you can know if receivers are ineligible by looking at the number on their jersey. In addition, the defense needs to check and see if the players are at least a yard behind the line of scrimmage. These are usually tight ends and wide receivers.

Which the whole being is exerted toward accomplishing nothing. Hatred of death, and his passion for life won him that unspeakable penalty in Much through his passions as through his torture. You have already grasped that Sisyphus is the aburd hero. Mercury came and seized the impudent man by the collar and, snatching him from his joys, led him forcibly back to the underworld, where his rock was ready for him. Many years more he lived facing the curve of the gulf, the sparkling sea, and the smiles of the earth. Recalls, signs of anger, warnings were of no avail. But when he had seen again the face of this world, enjoyed water and sun, warm stones and the sea, he no longer wanted to go back to the infernal darkness. And there, annoyed by an obedience so contrary to human love, he obtained from Pluto permission to return to earth in order to chastise his wife. He ordered her to cast his unburied body into the middle of the public square. It is said also that Sisyphus, being near to death, rashly wanted to test his wife's love. He dispatched the god of war, who liberated Death from the hands of the conqueror. Pluto could not endure the sight of his deserted, silent empire. Homer tells us also that Sisyphus had put Death in chains. He was punished for this in the underworld. ![]() To the celestial thunderbolts he preferred the benediction of water. He, who knew of the abduction, offered to tell about it on condition that Aesopus would give water to the citadel of Corinth. The father was shocked by that disappearance and complained to Sisyphus.

Opinions differ as to the reasons why he became the futile laborer of the underworld. According to another tradition, however, he was disposed to practice the profession of highwayman. If one believes Homer, Sisyphus was the wisest and most prudent of mortals. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor. The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight.
