an agreement between two or more organizations to cooperate in a specific business activity, so that each benefits from the strengths of the other, and gains competitive advantage. The formation of strategic alliances has been seen as a response to globalization and increasing uncertainty and complexity in the business environment. Strategic alliances involve the sharing of knowledge and expertise between partners as well as the reduction of risk and costs in areas such as relationships with suppliers and the development of new products and technologies. A strategic alliance is sometimes equated with a joint venture, but an alliance may involve competitors, and generally has a shorter life span. Strategic partnering is a closely related concept.

the Japanese form of management. Theory J is closely related to Theory Z, and was expounded by William Ouchi.

After graduating in 1935 from the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, New York, Henry served in different government agencies until 1938 when he joined the fast expanding US Maritime Commission. He assisted in the design and construction of troop-carrying vessels, Cl cargo ships, and he supervised the construction of two wartime attack transports. At the end of hostilities, he set up as a consultant naval architect and by 1951 had incorporated the business as J.J.Henry \& Company Inc. The opportunities that consultancy gave him were grasped eagerly; he became involved in the conversion of war-built tonnage to peaceful purposes (such as T2 tankers to ore carriers), the development of the new technologies of the carriage of liquefied gases at cryogenic temperatures and low pressures and, possibly the greatest step forward of all, the development of containerization. Containerization and the closely related field of barge transportation were to provide considerable business during the 1960s and the 1970s. The company designed the wonderful 33-knot container ships for Sea-Land and the auspicious Sea-bee barge carriers for the Lykes Brothers of New Orleans. James Henry's professional achievements were recognized internationally when he was elected President of the (United States) Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in 1969. By then he had served on many boards and committees and was especially honoured to be Chairman of the Board of Trustees of his graduating college, the Webb Institute of Naval Architecture of New York.

Sullivan, a Bostonian, studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Soon he joined his parents, who had moved to Chicago, and worked for a while in the office of William Le Baron Jenney, the pioneer of steel-frame construction. After spending some time studying at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, in 1875 Sullivan returned to Chicago, where he later met and worked for the Danish architect Dankmar Adler, who was practising there. In 1881 the two architects became partners, and during the succeeding fifteen years they produced their finest work and the buildings for which Sullivan is especially known.

During the early 1880s in Chicago, load-bearing, metal-framework structures that made lofty skyscrapers possible had been developed (see Jenney and Holabird). Louis H.Sullivan initiated building design to stress and complement the metal structure rather than hide it. Moving onwards from H.H.Richardson's treatment of his Marshall Field Wholesale Store in Chicago, Sullivan took the concept several stages further. His first outstanding work, built with Adler in 1886–9, was the Auditorium Building in Chicago. The exterior, in particular, was derived largely from Richardson's Field Store, and the building—now restored—is of bold but simple design, massively built in granite and stone, its form stressing the structure beneath. The architects' reputation was established with this building.

The firm of Sullivan \& Adler established itself during the early 1890s, when they built their most famous skyscrapers. Adler was largely responsible for the structure, the acoustics and function, while Sullivan was responsible for the architectural design, concerning himself particularly with the limitation and careful handling of ornament. In 1892 he published his ideas in Ornament in Architecture, where he preached restraint in its quality and disposition. He established himself as a master of design in the building itself, producing a rhythmic simplicity of form, closely related to the structural shape beneath. The two great examples of this successful approach were the Wainwright Building in St Louis, Missouri (1890–1) and the Guaranty Building in Buffalo, New York (1894–5). The Wainwright Building was a ten-storeyed structure built in stone and brick and decorated with terracotta. The vertical line was stressed throughout but especially at the corners, where pilasters were wider. These rose unbroken to an Art Nouveau type of decorative frieze and a deeply projecting cornice above. The thirteen-storeyed Guaranty Building is Sullivan's masterpiece, a simple, bold, finely proportioned and essentially modern structure. The pilaster verticals are even more boldly stressed and decoration is at a minimum. In the twentieth century the almost free-standing supporting pillars on the ground floor have come to be called pilotis. As late as the 1920s, particularly in New York, the architectural style and decoration of skyscrapers remained traditionally eclectic, based chiefly upon Gothic or classical forms; in view of this, Sullivan's Guaranty Building was far ahead of its time.

запираемый контактор
Контактор, в котором запирающее приспособление не позволяет подвижным элементам вернуться в положение покоя, когда прекращается воздействие на механизм управления.
Примечания
1 Запор защелки и его расцепитель могут быть механическими, пневматическими и т. п.
2 Благодаря запору контактор фактически приобретает второе положение покоя и, в полном смысле этого определения, к контакторам не относится. Однако согласно области применения к конструкции запираемый контактор более соответствует контакторам вообще, чем любым другим коммутационным аппаратам, поэтому считают, что он удовлетворяет (когда уместно) требованиям к контакторам.

latched contactor
a contactor, the moving elements of which are prevented by means of a latching arrangement from returning to the position of rest when the operating means are de-energized
NOTE 1 – The latching, and the release of the latching, may be mechanical, electromagnetic, pneumatic, etc.
NOTE 2 – Because of the latching, the latched contactor actually acquires a second position of rest and, according to the definition of a contactor it is not, strictly speaking, a contactor. However, since the latched contactor in both its utilization and its design is more closely related to contactors in general than to any other classification of switching device, it is considered proper to require that it complies with the specifications for contactors wherever they are appropriate.

FR

contacteur à accrochage
contacteur muni d'un dispositif d'accrochage empêchant ses éléments mobiles de retourner à leur position de repos quand on cesse d'actionner le dispositif de commande
NOTE 1 – L'accrochage et le déclencheur d'accrochage peuvent être mécaniques, électromagnétiques, pneumatiques, etc.
NOTE 2 – Du fait de son accrochage, le contacteur à accrochage possède en fait une seconde position de repos et, d'après la définition du contacteur il n'est pas à proprement parler un contacteur. Cependant, étant donné que le contacteur à accrochage, tant par son utilisation que par sa conception, se rapproche davantage d'un contacteur en général que de toute autre sorte d'appareil de connexion, on admet qu'il réponde aux spécifications des contacteurs dans la mesure du possible.

3.2.8 контактор с защелкой (latched contactor): Контактор, подвижные элементы которого удерживаются от возврата в начальное положение защелкой, когда средства управления обесточены.

Примечания

1 Посадка на защелку и освобождение от нее может быть механическим, электромагнитным, пневматическим и т. д.

2 В связи с наличием защелки, контактор фактически приобретает второе начальное положение и, согласно определению контактора, он не является контактором. Однако, учитывая, что контактор с защелкой, по его применению и по конструкции, относится ближе к контакторам, чем к любой другой классификации коммутационных аппаратов, целесообразно требовать, чтобы он соответствовал техническим условиям на контакторы там, где они применимы.
