Clutches vary considerably in size: some larger passerines of Australia such as lyrebirds and scrub-robins lay only a single egg, most smaller passerines in warmer climates lay between two and five, whilst in the higher latitudes of the northern hemisphere hole-nesting species like tits can lay up to a dozen and other species around five or six.

Clutches are used whenever the transmission of power or motion needs to be controlled either in amount or over time ( e. g., electric screwdrivers limit how much torque is transmitted through use of a clutch ; clutches control whether automobiles transmit engine power to the wheels ).

Clutches in typical cars are mounted directly to the face of the engine's flywheel, as this already provides a convenient large diameter steel disk that can act as one driving plate of the clutch.

The season began in Imola where the cars had teething trouble with Clutches amongst other things, in the 2nd round at Barcelona, Ryan was on course for a 3rd place finish when the car failed forcing him to start at the back of the grid for race 2, in which he set the fastest lap of the race and gained 1 point.

Clutches found in heavy duty applications such as trucks and competition cars use ceramic clutches that have a greatly increased friction coefficient.

The Keystone Cops serve as supporting players for Marie Dressler, Mabel Normand, and Chaplin in the first full-length Sennett comedy feature, Tillie's Punctured Romance ( 1914 ), as well as in Mabel's New Hero ( 1913 ) with Normand and Arbuckle, Making a Living ( 1914 ) with Chaplin in his first screen appearance ( pre-Tramp ), In the Clutches of the Gang ( 1914 ) with Normand, Arbuckle, and Al St. John, and Wished on Mabel ( 1915 ) with Arbuckle and Normand, among others.

* Clutches and bands: to effect gear changes, one of two types of clutches or bands are used to hold a particular member of the planetary gearset motionless, while allowing another member to rotate, thereby transmitting torque and producing gear reductions or overdrive ratios.

Clutches and small handbags for women are also made using patent leather, as well as some formal wallets and cigarette cases.

In a great majority of known nests, two eggs are laid ( rarely 1 or 3 ).

* The majority of species are ovoviviparous: the medium-sized eggs, encased only by a double membrane, remain in the uterus.

Many species are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other species, but the majority of species raise their own young.

While the majority of machines in Japan are stocked with drinks, snacks, and cigarettes, one occasionally finds vending machines selling items such as bottles of liquor, cans of beer, fried food, iPods, pornography, sexual lubricants, live lobsters, fresh meat, eggs and potted plants.

Probably the majority of female Tachinids lay white, ovoid eggs with flat undersides onto the skin of the host insect.

A majority of nests contain two eggs, though 1 to 3 have been recorded.

Whereas nearly all temperate frogs lay their eggs in water, the majority of rainforest species place eggs in vegetation or lay them in the ground.

The Great Spotted Cuckoo lays the majority of its eggs in the nests of the European Magpie, Pica pica.

Likewise, hybrids between different strains of White Leghorn are used to produce laying flocks that provide the majority of white eggs for sale in the United States.

Today, when battery eggs form the majority of available produce, many permit the egg with a blood spot following the removal of any actual blood ; battery eggs are unlikely to be able to form a viable embryo.

First flight females lay the vast majority of their eggs on wild lupine.

The majority of diagnoses are made by examination of the urine for eggs.

Foremost among these is factory farming, which produces the majority of meat, dairy products, and eggs in industrialized nations.

There are also indications for transovarial and transstadial transmission of the yellow fever virus within A. aegypti, i. e., the transmission from a female mosquito to her eggs and then larvae.

Females of many common species of mosquito can lay 100-200 eggs during the course of the adult phase of their lifecycle.

Both male and female mosquitoes are nectar feeders ; this culicine mosquito is a female that probably would need a blood meal as well to produce her maximal yield of eggs.

Worldwide introduction of various mosquito species over large distances into regions where they are not indigenous has occurred through human agencies, primarily on sea routes, in which the eggs, larvae, and pupae inhabiting water-filled used tires and cut flowers are transported.

The myth that no mosquito can penetrate the coating of fern to lay its eggs in the water gives the plant its common name " mosquito fern ".

Some important measures in mosquito control to be followed are: discourage egg-laying, prevent development of eggs into larvae and adults, kill the adult mosquitoes, do not allow adult mosquitoes into places of human dwelling, prevent mosquitoes from biting human beings and deny them blood meals.

Nettles are also able to consume minnows, bay anchovy eggs, worms, and mosquito larvae.

Interest waned after the discovery until 1971, when Janice Yen and A. Ralph Barr of the UCLA discovered Culex mosquito eggs were killed by a cytoplasmic incompatibility when the sperm of Wolbachia-infected males fertilized infection-free eggs.

The virus is maintained over the winter by transovarial transmission in mosquito eggs.

If the female mosquito is infected, she may lay eggs that carry the virus, and the adults coming from those eggs may be able to transmit the virus to chipmunks and to humans.

LACV can survive the winter in the mosquito eggs that will hatch into infected mosquitoes in the spring.

The mosquito takes a human blood meal and ingests microfilariae ( worm-like sheathed eggs ) that circulate in the human blood stream.

Although the lifespan of an adult Aedes aegypti is two to four weeks depending on conditions, Aedes aegypti's eggs can be viable for over a year in a dry state, which allows the mosquito to re-emerge after a cold winter or dry spell.
