3-patterned arrangement of Mattresses: There are some who will look at the size-type of Mattresses most often sold in North America and become bewildered as to why I am saying there are three overall sizes instead of four. I am trying to point out that underlying the words used to describe the different sizes of mattresses is a numerical representation that is similar to very primitive counting systems which used a three-patterned One- Two- Many formula. The three number references are as follows: >Single (also called twin) = 1 Double (sometimes called twin or full) = 2 Queen/King = Much, Many, Most, etc... Additionally, in earlier counting systems prior to the development of three number words, there was a point of departure in early human cognitive processes in which there was a point of stoppage at the "2" placement (amongst others) which is brought to mind when the word "full" (meaning complete) is used to describe the double or twin size. For a discussion on the "1 - 2 -Many" perspective: |

In other words, while there are a variety of dimensions used in the construction of mattresses, there exists an underlying notion of a 3-part differentiation equal to a small - medium - large formula. | |

3 key elements to the padprinting process:
The cliche' step - the image on the cliche' is inked via doktor blade system or ink-cup while the pad travels to the image.
The transfer step - the pad picks up the inked image from the cliche' and travels to the substrate.
The print step - the pad makes contact with the substrate using just the right amount of pressure to deliver the image.

Triple cocktail treatment used to treat AIDS, also known as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), consists of 3 drugs:
FDA approved the first drug specifically to combat HIV and AIDS in 1987. Commonly known as AZT (zidovudine), it is in the family of reverse transcriptase inhibitors called nucleoside analogs. Others in this class include (3-lettered abbreviations such as) ddi (didanosine), ddc (zalcitabine), D4T (stavudine), 3TC (lamivudine), and most recently Ziagen (abacavir). In 1997, FDA approved Combivir, a mixture of AZT and 3TC that allows patients to reduce the number of pills needed, which can be upwards of 20 a day for certain drug combinations.
Viramune (nevirapine), the first reverse transcriptase inhibitor in a class called non-nucleoside analogs, was approved in 1996. The following year, FDA approved a related drug, Rescriptor (delavirdine). In 1998, a third drug in this class, Sustiva (efavirenz) was approved.
Protease inhibitors, the last part of the triple cocktail, have only been on the market about three years. FDA approved the first one, Invirase (saquinavir), in late 1995.

3 "types" or "formulations" of gasoline used in the Arizona CBG (Cleaner Burning Gas) program:
Federal Phase 2 RFG, or Federal Phase 2 Reformulated Gasoline - is a basic formulation that is produced in such a way (as regulated by the federal EPA) as to limit the quantity or levels of those compounds and characteristics of gasoline that lead to poor emissions. All Federal Phase 2 RFG must pass the Federal Complex Model for use within a controlled area.
CARB (California Air Resources Board) Phase 2- is a formulation that is currently being used throughout California. It is formulated in such a way as to further limit various parameters of a gasoline blend which leads to a greater emissions reduction from motor vehicles. CARB Phase 2 gasoline is viewed as superior to other types of reformulated gasolines, including Federal Phase 2, and is considered the "cleanest burning" gasoline formulation available to date.
Predictive Model Formulations, or PM gasoline- are very similar to CARB Phase 2 gasoline, but differ in that the refiner is given leeway to deviate from the limits imposed on each compound or characteristic of CARB Phase 2, while the resultant emissions reduction meets the required emission expectations of the California Predictive Model.

3 types of spectacles in animals:
A primary spectacle is a modification of the corneal skin to create an unattached covering over the eye. It is found in lampreys.
The secondary spectacle is similar to the primary one, but with a different evolutionary origin. It is formed from skin that had at some point been fused to the cornea and has since separated. It is found in fish that feed in waters where sandy or muddy debris is present and in fish whose bulging eyes would otherwise be an impediment to streamlining.
The tertiary spectacle is an all together separate layer of tissue over a complete eye, formed by the fusion of the eyelids which subsequently become transparent. This most advanced spectacle is found in the snakes and other reptiles as an adaptation to the constantly blowing dust and sand of their desert environment.
| The three different types of spectacle are examples of analogies/adaptations that perform the same function, but evolved independently through different evolutionary pathways. |

3 general categories of golf-club head bore types:
Blind-Bore- is a deeper penetration that goes to a point about ½" above the sole.
Through-Bore- Through-bore (as in Callaway woods) allows for the shaft to penetrate all of the way through the head.
Standard Bore- Standard bore allows for the shaft to penetrate to a point inside the head just below the base of the hosel.

3 types of hazardous locations according to the National Electrical Code (NEC):
Class I Locations- The first type of hazard is one which is created by the presence of flammable gases or vapors in the air, such as natural gas or gasoline vapor.
Class II Locations- The second type of hazard are those areas made hazardous by the presence of combustible dust.
Class III Locations- The third type is where there are easily-ignitable fibers or flyings present, due to the types of materials being handled, stored, or processed.

3 major kinds of off-flavors are associated with dairy ingredients.
The first comes from the environment. An off-flavor can originate from the cow’s feed or plant materials grazed on, such as onion or garlic bulbs. Milk is exposed to the barn’s ambient temperature and odors, and if not cooled quickly and stored properly, putrid off-flavors can result.
The second type of off-flavor results from fat hydrolysis, which occurs when the enzyme lipase activates in raw milk during milking or shipment. Lipase can tear apart the milkfat, releasing butyric acid and other short-chain fatty acids that cause undesirable, rancid flavors.
Finally, off-flavors occur by oxidation, an age- or storage-related problem. Translucent plastic jugs can allow a stale, cardboard-like taste to develop that is sometimes referred to as oxidized or "light-struck." Although oxidized flavors are a form of rancidity, they have a different character than the strong, harsh flavors of lipolytic rancidity. Other factors that can cause off-flavors include microbial growth, the animal’s medications, processing conditions and contamination by substances such as chemical sanitizers. Proper handling, treatment and storage will prevent milk from losing its clean taste. Dairy ingredients and products should be kept in tightly sealed containers and should never be stored near strong-smelling foods.

3 types of fuel cells that appear to be the most promising:
The Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)- is the most likely contender for both large and small electric powerplants in the 1 kw and above size.
The Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell (DAFC)- appears to be the most promising as a battery replacement for portable applications such cellular phones and laptop computers.
The Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC)- is the most practical if we have a developed hydrogen economy.
(All of these fuel cells are not in commercial production yet, but several companies worldwide are working on their development.)
