What is a "conveyor belt"?

A conveyor belt is a continuous loop of material used to transport items from one place to another, usually in factories, warehouses, or airports. It consists of a long, flexible belt that moves over rollers or pulleys, carrying goods or materials along its length. Conveyor belts are often used to move products in assembly lines, carry luggage, or transport bulk materials. They are powered by electricity and can be adjusted to various speeds, depending on the task. Conveyor belts make work processes more efficient by automating the movement of items, reducing manual labor.

It is commonly used for paving roads, parking lots, and driveways because it creates a smooth, durable, and weather-resistant surface.

a device in a motor vehicle used to maintain a constant speed that is based on the preference of the driver

What is a "cruise control"?

Cruise control is a system in a vehicle that automatically controls the speed of the car without the driver needing to keep their foot on the accelerator. Once the driver sets the desired speed, the system maintains it by adjusting the speed control as needed. This feature is particularly useful for long drives on highways, helping to reduce fatigue by keeping the vehicle at a steady speed. Some advanced versions, known as adaptive cruise control, can also adjust the speed based on the distance to the vehicle ahead, providing extra convenience and safety.
