The bare gauze was easily damaged, and once just a single wire broke or rusted away, the lamp became unsafe.

Davy experimented with iron gauze, determining the maximum size of the gaps and the optimum wire thickness to prevent a flame passing through the gauze.

The iron gauze for example only needed to lose one wire to become unsafe.

Inside it, about 20 cm from one end, he placed a disc of wire gauze as shown in the figure on right.

Making the gauze with electrical resistance wire causes it to glow red when a sufficiently large current is passed.

He used a cast iron pipe 1. 5 m long and 12 cm diameter with two layers of gauze made from iron wire inserted about quarter of the way up the tube.

" Seares standardized the stellar magnitude system and extended it beyond the 18th magnitude, using absorbing wire gauze screens and reduced apertures to compare stars of varying brightnesses.

It is used in the laboratory much in the same way as a wire gauze, that is to support another piece of apparatus on a tripod, which is undergoing heating by a bunsen burner or other heat source.

Unlike the wire gauze, which primarily supports glassware such as a beaker, laboratory flasks, or an evaporating basin, the pipeclay triangle normally supports a crucible.

* In tropical areas, a survival kit may have mosquito head netting, additional insect repellent, anti-fungal cream, a machete, water purification tablets, foot powder, matches, a flint strike, a compass, a wire saw, a space blanket, medical equipment ( gauze pads, elastic gauze bandage, antiseptic creams, anti-malaria tablets, anti-infection tablets, bandages, etc.

Most later lamps are constructed on the principle discovered by Davy, that a flame enveloped in wire gauze of a certain fineness does not ignite firedamp.

(" oriented wire gasket ", " woven mesh gasket ", etc.

* Window screen, a wire mesh that covers a window opening

** Woven wire fencing, many designs, from fine chicken wire to heavy mesh " sheep fence " or " ring fence "

** Welded wire mesh fence

The cable is encased for its entire length in foil or wire mesh.

Some other types of walls include slabs of granite, concrete sprayed on to a wire mesh, pre-made fiberglass panels, large trees, manufactured steel and aluminum panels, and textured fiberglass walls.

In 1962, Allan H. Frey discovered that reception of the induced sound can be blocked by a patch of wire mesh ( not foil ) placed above the temporal lobe.

Barbed tape or razor wire is a mesh of metal strips with sharp edges whose purpose is to prevent passage by humans.

Since the wavelengths being observed with these types of antennas are so long, the " reflector " surfaces can be constructed from coarse wire mesh such as chicken wire.

Delegating different tasks in the process while maintaining overall supervision and careful control of the project, Ulbricht managed to keep secret the purchase of vast amounts of building materials, including barbed wire, concrete pillars, timber, and mesh wire.

Cages with solid or wire mesh floors are used, although wire mesh floors can cause injury and may be associated with an infection commonly known as bumblefoot ( ulcerative pododermatitis ).

Caul is obsessed with his own privacy ; his apartment is almost bare behind its triple-locked door and burglar alarm, he uses pay phones to make calls, claims to have no home telephone and his office is enclosed in wire mesh in a corner of a much larger warehouse.

BUDs were originally marketed in the late 1970s, with the earliest dishes being made of solid fiberglass and later models being made of wire mesh and solid steel or aluminum.

Fiberglass dishes are most commonly found on low rise commercial buildings, while the wire mesh counterparts are typically found on residential buildings.

Above the targeted bottom height ( coplanar with the compacted sand and gravel topping ) a separate grid of rebar or welded wire mesh is usually added to reinforce the concrete, and will be tied to the under slab ' girder ' rebar at intervals.

The Wing Cap allows Mario to fly ; the Metal Cap makes him immune to most damage, allows him to withstand wind, walk underwater, and be unaffected by noxious gases ; and the Vanish Cap renders him partially immaterial and allows him to walk through some obstacles such as wire mesh, as well as granting invulnerability to some forms of damage.

Nowadays we can span huge distances and to do so ( by ) not just putting steel mesh or something into the concrete but to put steel, high tensile steel wire into it and pull it tight and that makes it easy to span distances and give this kind of change of shape of a building which would have been very difficult to achieve any other way.

Some tube designers attempt to minimize screen current by placing each wire in the screen mesh directly behind a corresponding wire in the control grid mesh.

Gold wire ball-bonded to a gold contact pad

Gold wire ball-bonded to a gold contact pad

These devices include a water-sensitive pad worn in pajamas, a wire connecting to a battery-driven control, and an alarm that sounds when moisture is first detected.

The Tantal features a metal wire side-folding stock ( folds to the right side ), ended with a profiled shoulder pad.

In electronics, a lead is an electrical connection consisting of a length of wire or soldering pad ( smd ) that comes from a device.

The element is inserted in the discharge circuit in place of the exploding wire, and the calorimetric heating of the element is measured with high accuracy.

Several efforts were made in this direction, and though not all of them survive to this day, the Brown & Sharpe wire gage system was eventually adopted as the American standard and is still in common use today.

The direct evidence on the micrometeorite environment near the Earth is obtained from piezoelectric sensors ( essentially microphones ) and from wire gages ; ;

another reports that a cellular polypropylene, primarily for use in wire coating applications, is being investigated.

Usually this is a thin band of wire attached to the molars and stretching across the teeth.

Then comes the time when the last wire is removed and Susie walks out a healthier and more attractive girl than when she first went to the orthodontist.

Make sure that the metal tube through which the wire passes is in the shape of an inverted `` L '', the foot of the `` L '' about three inches long, so that the puppet can hang directly under the light.

This wire is usually near the user ).

The most important of these was the principle that came to be called Ampère ’ s law, which states that the mutual action of two lengths of current-carrying wire is proportional to their lengths and to the intensities of their currents.

Carryout Chinese food is typically served in a Oyster pail | paper carton with a wire bail.

The anode should be removed and checked after 5 years ( sooner if there is a sodium based water softner inline ), and replaced if 15 cm ( 6 inches ) or more of bare wire is showing.

Abatis is rarely seen nowadays, having been largely replaced by wire obstacles.

However, it may be used as a replacement or supplement when barbed wire is in short supply.

An important weakness of abatis, in contrast to barbed wire, is that it can be destroyed by fire.

A portable hand-held clamp-on ammeter is a common tool for maintenance of industrial and commercial electrical equipment, which is temporarily clipped over a wire to measure current.

As the electrical resistance of most metals is dependent upon the temperature of the metal ( tungsten is a popular choice for hot-wires ), a relationship can be obtained between the resistance of the wire and the flow speed.

Additionally, PWM ( pulse-width modulation ) anemometers are also used, wherein the velocity is inferred by the time length of a repeating pulse of current that brings the wire up to a specified resistance and then stops until a threshold " floor " is reached, at which time the pulse is sent again.

Beadwork is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another or to cloth, usually by the use of a needle and thread or soft, flexible wire.

This is a system by which a steel or iron wire framework is built in the shape of a boat's hull and covered ( trowelled ) over with cement.
