What is Push: Definition and 204 Discussions

Push technology, or server push, is a style of Internet-based communication where the request for a given transaction is initiated by the publisher or central server. It is contrasted with pull/get, where the request for the transmission of information is initiated by the receiver or client.
Push services are often based on information preferences expressed in advance. This is called a publish/subscribe model. A client "subscribes" to various information "channels" provided by a server; whenever new content is available on one of those channels, the server pushes that information out to the client.
Push is sometimes emulated with a polling technique, particularly under circumstances where a real push is not possible, such as sites with security policies that require rejection of incoming HTTP/S requests.

    How much air pressure is needed to push water up a column?

    Hello, I was creating a device to move water up a tube using air pressure, but I am not certain how much pressure I would need. I attempted to create it using 5 gallon buckets, however I was unable to apply the needed pressure needed to the airtight container. The image below is what I have...

    I need a small fan to push a lot of air because my bigger fan is too loud

    I remember a quick demonstration in high school of air like pushing more air thru a tube maybe 3-4in dia. than the little airbrush would push by itself? I think. I scaled that up at a weld shop with shop air and a 10in alum pipe that was like 3 feet long. I put a blow gun in the pipe and made a...

    MHB Forward Unit Push Operator Equation

    Hopefully the symbols I am using are standard. I will define them upon request. I have a theorem that says, given a difference equation \left ( \sum_{j = 0}^m a_j E^j \right ) y_n = \alpha ^n F(n), we can define a polynomial function \phi (E) = \sum_{j = 0}^m a_j E^j such that \phi (E) y_n =...
