The most spectacular form of ESD is the spark, which occurs when a heavy electric field creates an ionized conductive channel in air.

ESD problems first arose with accidental electric spark discharges in hazardous environments such as coal mines and when refuelling aircraft or motor cars.

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.

Discharges are also applied to a vertical and horizontal ground plane to simulate an ESD event on a nearby surface.

Most of ESD sensitive electronic assemblies and components are also so small that manufacturing and handling is made with automated equipment.

An airborne terminal was also installed in an ESD T-29 Navigation Trainer.

They are also suitable for electrostatic discharge ( ESD ) protection of sensitive devices such as III-V-semiconductor devices, laser diodes and, to a lesser extent, exposed lines of CMOS circuitry.

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

In addition to standard CMOS technology, the 1802 was also available fabricated in Silicon on Sapphire semiconductor process technology, which gives it a degree of resistance to radiation and electrostatic discharge ( ESD ).

The track list below is for the cassette edition, as this was also the track list used for the ESD reissue in the late 1990s.

They also have inherently excellent resistance to electrostatic discharge ( ESD ).

Digital distribution ( also called content delivery, online distribution, or electronic software distribution ( ESD ), among others ) describes the delivery of media content such as audio, video, software and video games, without the use of physical media usually over online delivery mediums, such as the Internet.

ESD can also manage network-transparent audio.

It also features several new technologies, including the Tracker search system, PulseAudio ( replacing ESD ), the OHM hardware management daemon, the gUPnP UPnP framework, enhanced location framework, and Upstart.

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.

Other forms of ESD include corona discharge from sharp electrodes and brush discharge from blunt electrodes.

A major design problem involves the fact that the microprocessor ( which is inside the top of each cartridge ) lacks ESD protection and is directly connected to the copper pins which normally connect the cartridge to the Microvision unit.

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.

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.

* Automotive Electronics Council, which defines in some of its standards, ESD test qualification requirements for electronic components used in vehicles

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

In statistical signal processing and physics, the spectral density, power spectral density ( PSD ), or energy spectral density ( ESD ), is a positive real function of a frequency variable associated with a stationary stochastic process, or a deterministic function of time, which has dimensions of power per hertz ( Hz ), or energy per hertz.

At the time of his death, IBM ESD ( which included the development and manufacturing of the IBM PC, PC DOS, PC LAN and TopView ) had nearly 10, 000 employees and had sold over a million PCs.

Various approaches to ESD encourage people to understand the complexities of, and synergies between, the issues threatening planetary sustainability and understand and assess their own values and those of the society in which they live in the context of sustainability.

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.

In 1995, ESD merged with St. Michael's, which allowed the school to offer education beginning at age 3 through 12th Grade.

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.

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

An ESD event may occur when the object comes into contact with a conductive path.

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.

ESD may mean:

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 can be caused by a buildup of static electricity by tribocharging, or by electrostatic induction.

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

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 ).

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.

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.
