The low-voltage integrated circuit inside the cartridge is extremely ESD sensitive, and can be destroyed by an event of only a few dozen volts which cannot even be felt by the person, delivering a fatal shock to the game unit.

ESD can cause a range of harmful effects, including methane gas and coal dust explosions, as well as failure of solid state electronics components such as integrated circuits.

In all these cases, the friction between two materials results in tribocharging, thus creating a difference of electrical potential that can lead to an ESD event.

For example, charged regions on the surfaces of styrofoam cups or bags can induce potential on nearby ESD sensitive components via electrostatic induction and an ESD event may occur if the component is touched with a metallic tool.

These invisible forms of ESD can cause outright device failures, or less obvious forms of degradation that may affect the long term reliability and performance of electronic devices.

ESD prevention can be part of the device itself and include special design techniques for device input and output pins.

A Charged Device Model ( CDM ) test is used to define the ESD a device can withstand when the device itself has an electrostatic charge and discharges due to metal contact.

ESD effects can be reduced by careful design of the mechanical package around the hot-swap component, perhaps by coating it with a thin film of conductive material.

ESD can also manage network-transparent audio.

As such, an application that supports ESD can output audio over the network, to any connected computer that is running an ESD server.

Source and victim are usually electronic hardware devices, though the source may be a natural phenomenon such as a lightning strike, electrostatic discharge ( ESD ) or, in one famous case, the Big Bang at the origin of the Universe.

Low-voltage digital circuits, especially CMOS transistors, became more susceptible to ESD damage as they were miniaturised, and a new ESD regulatory regime had to be developed.

; Electrostatic discharge ( ESD ) immunity: Electrostatic discharges with various properties ( rise time, peak voltage, fall time, and half time ) are applied to the areas on the device that are likely to be discharged too, such as the faces, near user accessible buttons, etc.

ESD includes spectacular electric sparks, but also less dramatic forms which may be neither seen nor heard, yet still be large enough to cause damage to sensitive electronic devices.

ESD simulators may be used to test electronic devices, for example with a human body model or a charged device model.

Materials in automated manufacturing which will touch on conductive areas of ESD sensitive electronic should be made of dissipative material, and the dissipative material must be grounded.

The advanced planning study was well received both at MITRE and ESD and it was decided to pursue a practical design to see if these ideas could be translated into a usable system.

Special anti-static vacuum cleaners should be used however to prevent electrostatic discharge ( ESD ).

Each ESD decides the format that will be used in their respective regions and how many regional competitions will be held.

While it is generally agreed on that sustainability education must be customized for individual learners, according to Tilbury and Wortman, the following skills are essential to ESD:

# How the Decade could be leveraged to advance education for sustainable development ( ESD ) in the United States ;

ESD support must be specifically written and added into applications, as ESD does not emulate normal audio hardware APIs.

Electrostatic discharge ( ESD ) is the sudden flow of electricity between two objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown.

ESD prevention within an EPA may include using appropriate ESD-safe packing material, the use of conductive filaments on garments worn by assembly workers, conducting wrist straps and foot-straps to prevent high voltages from accumulating on workers ' bodies, anti-static mats or conductive flooring materials to conduct harmful electric charges away from the work area, and humidity control.

JTIDS began with an advanced planning study sponsored by the Air Force Electronic Systems Division ( ESD ) Advanced Plans ( XR ) at L. G.

O ' Rear often felt overwhelmed by the number of people he had to deal with at the ESD ( Entry Systems Division ) facility in Boca Raton.

For example, the ESD caution symbol, which is the hand with the line drawn through it, was published by JEDEC and is used worldwide.

The additional input and output gates on the buffered parts also make them marginally less susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge ( ESD ).

Jarrell Emergency services are provided by the Jarrell Volunteer Fire Department operating under Williamson County ESD # 5.

Klein FD is funded by Harris County ESD 16.

It was developed by ADvertainment Software and published by ESD games.

Imported from Colorado, the first Knowledge Bowl for high school students in grades nine through twelve was conducted by the Olympic ESD 114 region in 1981.

ESD is the term most used internationally and by the United Nations.

ESDlife ( 生活易 ) is a Hong Kong commercial website in Hong Kong, developed by ESD Services limited, which is jointed owned by Hutchison Whampoa Limited and Compaq Computer Limited.

ESD was founded in 1974 by Dallas-area leaders and Reverend Stephen B. Swann.

* Electron Stimulated Desorption ( ESD ) is noted by peaks observed at 12, 16, 19 and 35 u rather than by electron-impact ionization of gaseous species, with the effects similar to outgassing effects.

ESD is used as the primary sound server, and GStreamer is used by the shipped media player to play back sounds and movies.

One of the causes of ESD events is static electricity.

An efficient way to prevent ESD is to use materials that are not too conductive but will slowly conduct static charges away.

ESD: Electro static Discharge mostly followed in the EMS companies ( UDAYAKUMAR )

Another type of air ioniser is the ESD ioniser ( balanced ion generator ) used to neutralise static charge.
