Direct current ( DC ) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge.

Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type.

Direct fuel injection which can inject fuel only at the time of fuel ignition ( similar to a diesel engine ) is another recent development which also allows for higher compression ratios on gasoline engines.

Direct contempt is an unacceptable act in the presence of the judge ( in facie curiae ), and generally begins with a warning, and may be accompanied by an immediate imposition of punishment.

Direct contempt is distinctly different from indirect contempt, wherein another individual may file papers alleging contempt against a person who has willfully violated a lawful court order.

# Direct contempt is that which occurs in the presence of the presiding judge ( in facie curiae ) and may be dealt with summarily: the judge notifies the offending party that he or she has acted in a manner which disrupts the tribunal and prejudices the administration of justice.

Direct microscopy of stool is not recommended, as it is unreliable.

The Direct Examination or Examination-in-Chief is one stage in the process of adducing evidence from witnesses in a court of law.

Direct examination is the questioning of a witness by the party who called him or her, in a trial.

Direct examination is usually performed to elicit evidence in support of facts which will satisfy a required element of a party's claim or defense.

Direct or substantive dyeing is normally carried out in a neutral or slightly alkaline dyebath, at or near boiling point, with the addition of either sodium chloride ( NaCl ) or sodium sulfate ( Na < sub > 2 </ sub > SO < sub > 4 </ sub >) or sodium carbonate ( Na < sub > 2 </ sub > CO < sub > 3 </ sub >).

Direct current, as produced by example from a battery and required by most electronic devices, is a unidirectional flow from the positive part of a circuit to the negative.

Fox News Channel is currently offered by Access Communications, Bell TV, Cogeco, Eastlink, Manitoba Telecom Services, Rogers, SaskTel, Shaw Cable, Shaw Direct and Telus TV.

Direct Democracy is pervasive in representative assemblies and small-government units.

Direct information about a consumer ’ s willingness to pay is rarely available.

Direct linkage is available with Mozambique, however, which has the same gauge track.

* Round-tripping: Money is deposited in a controlled foreign corporation offshore, preferably in a Tax haven where minimal records are kept, and then shipped back as a Foreign Direct Investment, exempt from taxation.

Mars Direct is a proposal for a manned mission to Mars that is designed to be both cost-effective and possible with current technology.

Mars Direct was featured on a Discovery Channel programs Mars: The Next Frontier in which issues were discussed surrounding NASA funding of the project, and on Mars Underground, where the plan is discussed more in-depth.

* Mars Direct is the mission mode used in Gregory Benford's novel, The Martian Race, and in Geoffrey A. Landis's novel Mars Crossing, as well as Zubrin's own novel, First Landing.

* In the West Wing episode " The Warfare of Genghis Khan ", a NASA staffer describes Mars Direct to the skeptical White House Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman and is able to convince him of its merit.

* Direct Stream Transfer, used in Super Audio CD

Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there are important differences between cinéma vérité ( Jean Rouch ) and the North American " Direct Cinema " ( or more accurately " Cinéma direct "), pioneered by, among others, Canadians Allan King, Michel Brault and Pierre Perrault, and Americans Robert Drew, Richard Leacock, Frederick Wiseman and Albert and David Maysles.

Direct dyes are used on cotton, paper, leather, wool, silk and nylon.

* Direct market access, used in financial markets

This study uses horizontally landing, bent biconic shaped modules, and relies on solar power and chemical propulsion throughout, where Mars Direct and the DRMs used nuclear reactors for surface power and, in the case of the DRMs for propulsion as well.

* A Mars Direct scheme is used in Larry Niven's novel Rainbow Mars.

* A Mars Direct scheme is used in Robert M. Blevins ' 2005 novel The 13th Day of Christmas.

In the currently most popular variant for cellular mobile telephones, W-CDMA ( IMT Direct Spread ) is used.

The wire frame format is also well suited and widely used in programming tool paths for DNC ( Direct Numerical Control ) machine tools.

Studies show that under ideal propagation conditions ( simulations ), Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum ( DSSS ) provides the highest throughput for all nodes on a network when used in conjunction with CSMA / CA and the IEEE 802. 11 RTS / CTS exchange under light network load conditions.

* Direct Access Test Unit, special numbers used to test telephone exchanges

Direct access can be more efficient but is less portable as it depends on the mailbox format ; it is used by some email clients, including some webmail applications.

Two satellite types are used for North American television and radio: Direct broadcast satellite ( DBS ), and Fixed Service Satellite ( FSS )

DBS technology is used for DTH-oriented ( Direct-To-Home ) satellite TV services, such as DirecTV and DISH Network in the United States, Bell TV and Shaw Direct in Canada, Freesat and Sky Digital in the UK, the Republic of Ireland, and New Zealand and DSTV in South Africa.

Direct current is used to charge batteries, and in nearly all electronic systems, as the power supply.

Direct current is used for some railway propulsion, especially in urban areas.

In Canada, the term " death stars " was used to describe U. S. Direct Broadcast Satellites capable of broadcasting signals into Canada that were not regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

Direct manipulation of molecules using optical tweezers or AFM can also be used to monitor biological events where forces and distances are at the nanoscale.

AAUI connectors were also present on some Processor Direct Slot Ethernet adapter cards used in Macintosh LC and Performa machines.

* Direct Coombs test, used to test for autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Direct broadcast satellite ( DBS ) is a term used to refer to satellite television broadcasts intended for home reception.

For Ku satellites in DBS ( Direct Broadcast Satellite ) service ( 12. 2-12. 7GHz in the U. S .) dishes much smaller than 1-meter can be used because those satellites are spaced 9 degrees apart.

Direct compression is the term used to define the process where powder blends of the drug substance and excipients are compressed on a tablet machine.
