Although early Commodore advertisements attempted to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software.

Although the hardware is limited to four separate sound channels, software such as OctaMED uses software mixing to allow eight or more virtual channels, and it was possible for software to mix two hardware channels to achieve a single 14-bit resolution channel by playing with the volumes of the channels in such a way that one of the source channels contributes the most significant bits and the other the least.

Although he is sometimes regarded as among the first and most influential architects of Nordic modernism, a closer examination of the historical facts reveals that Aalto ( while a pioneer in Finland ) closely followed and had personal contacts with other pioneers in Sweden, in particular Gunnar Asplund and Sven Markelius.

Although most dialects of English used in the former British Empire outside of North America and Australasia are, to various extents, based on British English, most of the countries concerned have developed their own unique dialects, particularly with respect to pronunciation, idioms and vocabulary.

Although page flipping was a hardware possibility, the limited memory forced most applications to do all their drawing directly to the visible screen, often resulting in graphical flicker or visible redraw.

Although most cultural systems of astrology share common roots in ancient philosophies that influenced each other, many have unique methodologies which differ from those developed in the West.

Although such controllers need not be electrical many are and hence control engineering is often viewed as a subfield of electrical engineering.

Although there are electrical engineers who focus exclusively on one of these sub-disciplines, many deal with a combination of them.

Although modern kilns often have sophisticated electrical systems to control the firing temperatures, pyrometric devices are also frequently used.

Although the institute does not offer degrees in biomedical engineering, students at UNB usually enroll in one of the other faculties of engineering such as electrical or mechanical and pursue their research in biomedical engineering at the IBME.

Although the term " insulator " implies low electrical conduction, " dielectric " is typically used to describe materials with a high polarizability.

Although humidification technology could raise its relative humidity to comfortable middle levels, this is not done since humidity promotes corrosion to the inside of the hull and risks condensation which could short electrical systems, so for safety reasons it is deliberately kept to a low value, around 10 %.

Although much less refined, the boundaries between Beaumont and Calimesa fall generally along the Southern California Edison ( SCE ) right-of-way that extends from the El Casco electrical sub-station facility near Moreno Valley, eastward.

Although electrical service, provided by a local power plant on Clear Creek, and telegraph and later telephone lines were operational in the early days, they fell out of use and were abandoned after World War II.

Although sold as an " electric car ", the C5 could be characterised as a recumbent tricycle with electrical assistance.

Although creating the initial space charge and the first arc of current through the tube may require a very high voltage, once the tube begins to heat up the electrical resistance drops, thus increasing the electric current through the lamp.

Although textile-related engineering declined with the processing industry, leading to the demise of both Stotts and Platts, other engineering firms existed, notably electrical and later electronic engineers Ferranti in 1896.

Although it depends less on electricity than some Western main battle tanks, it nonetheless still needs electrical power for operation and movement.

Although the term " skin effect " is most often associated with applications involving transmission of electrical currents, the skin depth also describes the exponential decay of the electric and magnetic fields, as well as the density of induced currents, inside a bulk material when a plane wave impinges on it at normal incidence.

Although electric charges do exist and may create static electric fields, the oscillating electric part of EM near-fields that is created by an electric potential in the radiator always shows a dipole nature, because the source of the electric part of the EM near-field is created from an electrical neutral conductor only in a way that temporarily creates a dipole or multipole.

Although much of it originated as part of the North London Railway, the current route is the result of a series of amalgamations, closures and re-openings ; and has a mixed third-rail and overhead electrical power supply.
