Many persons claim to have invented perpetual motion machines and other power generating devices supposedly based on zero-point energy.

Many large corporations also use these machines for signing business letters.

Many daisy wheel machines offer a bold type facility, accomplished by double-or triple-striking the specified character ( s ); servo-based printers advance the carriage fractionally for a wider ( and therefore blacker ) character, while cheaper machines perform a carriage return without a line feed to return to the beginning of the line, space through all non-bold text, and restrike each bolded character.

Many corporations demonstrated the use of mainframe computers, computer terminals with keyboards and CRT displays, Teletype machines, punch cards, and telephone modems in an era when computer equipment was kept in back offices away from the public, decades before the Internet and home computers were at everyone's disposal.

Many of these recordings were in mono, because in the mid 1980s most home video machines could only record mono sound, and also because the European BBC TV broadcast was in mono.

Many alloys of aluminium, copper, magnesium, titanium, and nickel can be strengthened to some degree by some method of heat treatment, but few respond to this to the same degree that steel does.

Many anagram servers ( for example, the Internet Anagram Server ) can control the search results, by excluding or including certain words, limiting the number or length of words in each anagram, or limiting the number of results.

Many processes are close to adiabatic and can be easily approximated by using an adiabatic assumption, but there is always some heat loss ; as no perfect insulators exist.

Many useful array slicing operations ( such as selecting a sub-array, swapping indices, or reversing the direction of the indices ) can be performed very efficiently by manipulating the dope vector.

Many alkaloids can be purified from crude extracts by acid-base extraction.

Many methods, once developed, are kept purposely static so that data can be compared over long periods of time.
