* Fly-by ( FB ): No observed discontinuity in flight.

In rural areas the grid's cost and impacts can be reduced by using single wire earth return systems ( for example, the MALT-system ).

The most basic building block of these systems is the electric wire, and SWNTs with diameters of an order of a nanometer can be excellent conductors.

:* Domestic: The individual islands are connected by a combination of satellite earth stations, microwave systems, and VHF and HF radiotelephone ; within the islands, service is provided by small exchanges connected to subscribers by open wire, cable, and fiber-optic cable

Domestic systems are open wire ; microwave radio relay ; radio communication in the HF, VHF, and UHF frequencies ; two domestic satellites provide the national trunk service.

International systems are open wire to Sudan and Djibouti ; microwave radio relay to Kenya and Djibouti ; satellite earth stations-3 Intelsat ( 1 Atlantic Ocean and 2 Pacific Ocean ).

Other methods of insulating high voltage systems are ceramic or glass wire holders, gas, vacuum, and simply placing the wires with a large separation, using the air as insulation.

Home electrical systems, for the most part, are wired with copper wire for its good conducting properties.

However the British were able to render their systems useless by jamming their radios, and missiles with wire guidance were not ready by D-Day.

* Self-reproductive systems are conjectured systems which would produce copies of themselves from industrial feedstocks such as metal bar and wire.

It should be noted that the bandwidth of wired systems can be in fact surprisingly narrow, with the bandwidth of Ethernet wire limited to approximately 1 GHz, and PCB traces limited by a similar amount.

Three-phase systems may have a neutral wire.

19th century telephone systems, operating at baseband, could only carry one telephone call on each wire, hence routes with heavy traffic needed many wires.

HDSL-2 does not employ repeaters as does conventional four wire HDSL, or newer HDSL-4 systems.

The major interests of the AIEE were wire communications ( telegraphy and telephony ) and light and power systems.

Semi-automated wire wrapping is unique among prototyping systems because it can place twisted pairs, and twisted magnetically-shielded quads, permitting the assembly of complex radar and high speed digital circuits.

Some systems optimized the design by experimentally swapping the positions of parts and logic gates to reduce the wire length.

The igniter can be one of several ignition systems: A simple type is an electrically-heated wire coil ; another used a small pilot flame, fueled with pressurized gas from the system.

The Cube did, however, feature many advanced technologies either not seen or only being seen now in other MotoGP bikes – technologies including ride by wire throttle and pneumatic valve actuation systems.

For this reason, later core systems combined the two into a single wire, and used circuitry in the memory controller to switch the function of the wire.

Modern airliner instrumentation may also measure angle of attack, although this information may not be directly displayed on the pilot's display, instead driving a stall warning indicator or giving performance information to the flight computer ( for fly by wire systems ).

Guided systems were several sophisticated radio, wire, or radar guided missiles like the Wasserfall rocket.

Certain types of overhead electrification systems that makes use of trolley poles have similar devices referred to as wire frogs.

For easy viewing, the middle 2 beads on each wire ( the 5th and 6th bead ) usually are of a different colour from the other eight beads.

* Cal-Earth ( The California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture ) has developed a patented system called Superadobe, in which bags filled with stabilized earth are layered with strands of barbed wire to form a structure strong enough to withstand earthquakes, fire and flood.

The trees are usually interlaced or tied with wire.

Abatis are used alone or in combination with wire entanglements and other obstacles.

Additionally, PWM ( pulse-width modulation ) anemometers are also used, wherein the velocity is inferred by the time length of a repeating pulse of current that brings the wire up to a specified resistance and then stops until a threshold " floor " is reached, at which time the pulse is sent again.

Common examples of smoldering phenomena are the initiation of residential fires on upholstered furniture by weak heat sources ( e. g., a cigarette, a short-circuited wire ), and the persistent combustion of biomass behind the flaming front of wildfires

There are several companies in the United States that charge a small fee to collect CRTs, then subsidize their labor by selling the harvested copper, wire, and printed circuit boards.

Links were either butted together meaning that the ends touched each other and were not riveted, or the kusari was constructed with links where the wire was turned or twisted two or more times, these split links are similar to the modern split ring commonly used on keychains.

Although crochet may be done with ribbons, metal wire or more exotic filaments, most yarns are made by spinning fibers.

A coil tap is a wiring feature found on some electrical transformers, inductors and coil pickups, all of which are sets of wire coils.

The coil tap ( s ) are points in a wire coil where a conductive patch has been exposed ( usually on a loop of wire that extends out of the main coil body ).

Other sticks commonly used are rutes, consisting of a bundle of canes, and wire or nylon drum brushes.

These contain magnets that are tightly wrapped in a coil, or coils, of copper wire.

Single-coil pickups, one magnet wrapped in copper wire, are used by guitarists seeking a brighter, twangier sound with greater dynamic range.

Today, taller retaining walls are increasingly built as composite gravity walls such as: geosynthetic or steel-reinforced backfill soil with precast facing ; gabions ( stacked steel wire baskets filled with rocks ), crib walls ( cells built up log cabin style from precast concrete or timber and filled with soil or free draining gravel ) or soil-nailed walls ( soil reinforced in place with steel and concrete rods ).

; Still Rings: The rings are suspended on wire cable from a point 5. 75 meters from the floor, and adjusted in height so the gymnast has room to hang freely and swing.

Harpists are aided in telling which strings they are playing because all F strings are black or blue and all C strings are red, and the wire strings are silver or bronze if C or F.

He later changed technique, using a surgical instrument called a leucotome that cut brain tissue by rotating a retractable wire loop ( a quite different cutting instrument also used for lobotomies shares the same name ).

This new " transorbital " lobotomy involved lifting the upper eyelid and placing the point of a thin surgical instrument ( often called an orbitoclast or leucotome, although quite different from the wire loop leucotome described above ) under the eyelid and against the top of the eyesocket.

The automatic wire wrap machines themselves were quite large, tall and square.

Since it was quite easy to stack interconnections ( wires ) inside the embedding matrix, the approach allowed designers to forget completely about the routing of wires ( usually a time-consuming operation of PCB design ): Anywhere the designer needs a connection, the machine will draw a wire in straight line from one location / pin to another.

Such armor was quite expensive — both in materials ( iron wire ) and time / skill required to manufacture it — so common foot soldiers rarely were so equipped.

Housings for bicycle brakes need not be quite so compressionless, but need to be stronger, and items currently sold for this purpose use a close-wound spiral support wire.

In particular, the wire ropes supporting the caissons suffered from fatigue as a result of repeated bending and straightening as they ran over the overhead pulleys, and had to be replaced quite frequently.

Another effect of early cutoff is that the valve is moving quite slowly at the cutoff point, and this causes ' wire drawing ' of the steam, another wasteful thermodynamic effect visible on an indicator diagram.

While copper wire can be used, it does not work quite as well as stainless steel.

The wire drawing process is quite simple in concept.

To maintain good electrical contact, the bow collector must exert quite strong pressure on the wire above, and so complicated systems of springs or weights were put into use to ensure good electrical contact, and hence efficient operation was maintained.

The recording head was a split ring, with the wire running in a groove in the head, quite similar to the heads used today.

The recording head was a split ring, with the wire running in a groove in the head, quite similar to the heads used today.

In the film, it is quite obvious that the dress is being torn off by a wire rather than simply falling off by itself.
