In one outstanding example, Whirlpool Corp. found that by switching to urethane foam insulation, they could increase the storage capacity of gas refrigerators to make them competitive with electric models.

An example would be the systems being put in place for senior people such as fall detectors, thermometers ( for hypothermia risk ), flooding and unlit gas sensors ( for people with mild dementia ).

Argon is mostly used as an inert shielding gas in welding and other high-temperature industrial processes where ordinarily non-reactive substances become reactive ; for example, an argon atmosphere is used in graphite electric furnaces to prevent the graphite from burning.

For example, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-NMR spectroscopy.

Other types exist ; a fluidic amplifier increases the power of signals represented as flow of gas or liquid, for example.

As an example, in British Columbia the forestry industry is of great importance, while the oil and gas industry is important in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.

* Roller cone bit, a drill bit used for drilling through rock, for example when drilling for oil and gas

These shales are an important source rock for oil and gas, for example in the subsurface of the North Sea.

For example, an increase in pressure due to decreasing volume causes the reaction to shift to the side with the fewer moles of gas.

For example, simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas can produce a more complex substance, such as water.

In the short term, CERTs perform data gathering, especially to locate mass-casualties requiring professional response, or situations requiring professional rescues, simple fire-fighting tasks ( for example, small fires, turning off gas ), light search and rescue, damage evaluation of structures, triage and first aid.

Some engines convert heat from noncombustive processes into mechanical work, for example a nuclear power plant uses the heat from the nuclear reaction to produce steam and drive a steam engine, or a gas turbine in a rocket engine may be driven by decomposing hydrogen peroxide.

For example, scientific uncertainty fuels the ongoing debate over greenhouse gas regulation and is a major factor in the debate over whether to ban pesticides.

When a system, for example, n moles of a gas of volume V at pressure p and temperature T, is created or brought to its present state from absolute zero, energy must be supplied equal to its internal energy U plus pV, where pV is the work done in pushing against the ambient ( atmospheric ) pressure.

For example, to synthesize iso-octane ( the 8-carbon ideal gasoline ) from the unfunctionalized alkane isobutane ( a 4-carbon gas ), isobutane is first dehydrogenated into isobutene.

For example, " brake fluid " is hydraulic oil and will not perform its required function if there is gas in it.

An example of this would be the perfect gas equation of state:

Airborne toxic materials may be gaseous ( for example the chlorine gas used in World War I ) or particulate ( such as many biological agents developed for weapons such as bacteria, viruses and toxins ).

For example, unlike when handloading rifle and pistol cartridges, where all the various components ( cases, gas checks, powder, primers, etc.

For example, if a liquid or gas contains ions, then the ions can be made to flow as an electric current, and the material is a conductor.

Despite its name, a KUB is not typically used to investigate pathology of the kidneys, ureters, or bladder, since these structures are difficult to assess ( for example, the kidneys may not be visible due to overlying bowel gas.

When measuring liquid pressure, a loop filled with gas or a light fluid can isolate the liquids to prevent them from mixing but this can be unnecessary, for example when mercury is used as the manometer fluid to measure differential pressure of a fluid such as water.

The gas must be well-behaved during its compression ( it must not condense, for example ).

Lever-delayed blowback, as seen in for example the French FAMAS assault rifle, can also handle more powerful cartridges but is more complicated and expensive to manufacture.

A few locked breech designs use a form of blowback ( example: primer actuation ) to perform the unlocking function.

The Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless | Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless is a popular example of a simple blowback pistol chambered in. 380 ACP.

One example of this practice is the case of airsoft gas guns, which use HFC-134a as the compressed gas.

For example, a 44 Magnum firing a 240-grain lead semi-wadcutter could be loaded with either Accurate Arms # 2, a very fast pistol powder, or # 9, a very slow pistol powder.

For example, should a semiautomatic pistol fail to fire, clearing the chamber requires manually cycling the action to remove the errant round, as cycling the action normally depends on the energy of a cartridge firing.

The mass-produced, low-cost Liberator pistol of World War II, which was manufactured and distributed by U. S. forces to Allied Resistance forces and Guerrilla fighters as an assassination pistol, is the most common example of a mass-produced single-shot pistol.

An example of FMJ bullets in their usual shapes: pointed (" Spitzer ( bullet ) | spitzer ") for the 7. 62x39mm rifle and round-nosed for the 7. 62x25mm pistol cartridges.

An example of a Benelli Kite pre-charged pneumatic air pistol, as used in 10 m Air Pistol | 10 metre air pistol ISSF shooting events

It is possible to circumvent S. 5 of the Firearms Act 1968 by making up pepper spray in an innocuous container ( for example a water pistol or washing-up liquid bottle ) as per R. v. Formosa and R. V. Upton, and this may be used for self-defense purposes on private property ( it would constitute an offensive weapon in a public place ).

This god, Äkyantho ', is described as a light-skinned god that wears a hat and carries a pistol, is responsible for trade, medicine, diseases, some animals ( horses for example ), metal tools, and also had a son named Hesuklistos ( Jesus Christ ) who is supposed to be the god of foreigners.

Different weapons use different amounts of ammunition — for example, the rocket launcher uses more than the pistol.

For example, bright orange zip ties may be used to hold a sword in a scabbard or to hold a pistol in a holster.

In most countries ( though not in the US or Germany, for example ) in this era, the carrying of a pistol was primarily an indicator of rank rather than having a serious defensive purpose.

Such tropes that are frequently seen in westerns include shooting the center of a coin, stylistic pistol twirling, glancing shots that intentionally only graze an opponent ( the bullet through the hat being an example, the bullet cutting the hangman's rope being another trope in Westerns ), precise shots that shoot the guns out of opponents ' hands ( typically as an alternative to killing ), or shooting an opponent's belt buckle, thus dropping his pants.

The pistol, for example, can be modified to increase its firepower, or its rate of fire, among other things.

For example, the football referees wave a flag instead of blowing a whistle ; on the track, races are started by using a light, instead of a starter pistol.

For example, in 2003 Weber was charged with illegal possession of firearms after using a pistol on stage.

Sturm, Ruger, for example, uses sheet metal firing pins in its 10 / 22 carbine and Mark II pistol.

For example, within the state of Texas only eight guardsmen are presented this award for rifle, eight for pistol, two for sniper, and two for machine gun each year.

Gabriel tells him, " If redemption is what you seek, then that is what I will give you " before shooting him in the head with his bolt pistol, using him as an example to his men about the dangers of Chaos.

The four different weapons ( plasma gun, magic wand, pistol and auto-repeat plasma gun ) have different usages — for example, magic blasts are especially useful against magical creatures such as witches, whereas robots are practically immune to them.
