AIS, n active isolated stretching; a sequence of stretching exercises that encourages flexibility by combining active stretching and reciprocal inhibition (RI) methods. The move-ments are performed repetitively until adequate progress has been made. Unlike muscle energy techniques, these exercises do not make use of the numerous benefits of postisometric relaxation (PIR). See also MET and PIR. AIS see illawarra cattle. |

Numerous friends and allies, systems commands,
commercial shipping firms, and others are fielding AIS initiatives at
varying levels of maturity. Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) for commercial vessels are
similar to what radio transponders are for aircraft--using VHF radio
frequencies, AIS send and receive data, such as vessel direction, speed,
and identification in hopes of avoiding collisions. Retailers can use AIS networks to send a dedicated phone number to
each customer, who can call the number and make a settlement using
either an interactive voice response system or WAP. |
