   Cyclone
   Air cleaning device which uses a combination of centrifugal and gravitational forces to separate particles out of an air stream. Contaminated air is introduced tangentially so that solids are thrown outwards against the walls of the cyclone and fall to the bottom under gravity. Irrigated and multi versions exist.

   cyclone
   1.a low-pressure area, around which wind flow is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The term is sometimes used to describe storms occurring in the atmosphere; in the Indian Ocean it is used to designate a tropical cyclone. 2. a device for the separation of various particles from a drilling fluid, most commonly used as a desander. The fluid is pumped tangentially into a cone, and the fluid rotation provides enough centrifugal force to separate particles by mass weight.

   cyclone
   (Learning Modules / Geography / Weather forecasting) A circulating storm around a low pressure centre. The term cyclone is usually restricted to tropical storm systems (temperate ones are called 'depressions'). A cyclone with wind speeds in excess of 120 kph is a hurricane in the Atlantic, a typhoon in the western Pacific or a tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean. The winds circulate anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.

    Cyclone
    In meteorology, a `cyclone` is an area of low atmospheric pressure characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere of the Earth. The generic term covers a wide variety of meteorological phenomena. These include tropical cyclones, extratropical cyclones, and tornadoes, so meteorologists rarely use `cyclone` without additional qualification.

    CYCLONE
    The `CYCLONE`, was an early computer built in 1959 by Iowa State University, was based on the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) architecture developed by John von Neumann. As with all computers of its era, it was a one of a kind machine that could not exchange programs with other computers (even other IAS machines). The name was taken from the Iowa State Cyclones, the nickname for the university's sports teams.
