* Nonlinearity: If the current through a ferromagnetic core coil is high enough that the magnetic core saturates, the inductance will not remain constant but will change with the current through the device.

If an electric field of one particular polarity is applied for a long period of time, this ionic material is attracted to the surfaces and degrades the device performance.

If the confinement is due many distributed Fresnel reflections, the device is termed a photonic crystal.

If in every situation only one transition is available as continuation of the computation, then the result is a deterministic pushdown automaton ( DPDA ), a strictly weaker device.

If we allow a finite automaton access to two stacks instead of just one, we obtain a more powerful device, equivalent in power to a Turing machine.

If the subject cannot, for whatever reason, get access to the device, intense depression can result, often to the point of madness or suicide.

If SMES were to be used for utilities it would be a diurnal storage device, charged from baseload power at night and meeting peak loads during the day.

If a similar set of disks and a housing with an involute shape ( versus circular for the turbine ) are used, the device can be used as a pump.

If ' is positive, the resistance increases with increasing temperature, and the device is called a positive temperature coefficient ( PTC ) thermistor, or posistor.

If ' is negative, the resistance decreases with increasing temperature, and the device is called a negative temperature coefficient ( NTC ) thermistor.

If the current is large enough to generate more heat than the device can lose to its surroundings, the device heats up, causing its resistance to increase, and therefore causing even more heating.

If two devices overwrote the same memory location in a conflict, and the hard disk controller relied on this location ( the HDD controller often being the 2nd conflicting device ) there was the all-too-common possibility of massive data corruption.

If a visible output was needed, a second tube with a phosphor coating was used as a display device.

If there is a fixed voltage source from, for example, a DC adjustable device in the signal path, a comparator is just the equivalent of a cascade of amplifiers.

If we define control characters as non-graphic, or as having a special meaning for an output device ( e. g. printer or text terminal ) then any escape character for this device is a control one.

If the device stops responding, active monitoring will throw an alarm showing the device as unavailable and allows for the proactive correction of the problem.

If the conductive part of the hearing loss is more than 30 – 35 dB, an air conduction device could have problems overcoming this gap.

If that device uses natural binary codes, these two positions would be right next to each other:

If the flash controller does not track the total number of reads across the whole storage device and rewrite the surrounding data periodically as a precaution, a read disturb error will likely occur, with data loss as a result.

If the device has been designed to power a shaft as with an industrial generator or a turboprop, the exit pressure will be as close to the entry pressure as possible.

If the device in question is " dumb " and can only do one thing with the information being sent to it ( for instance, print it ) then there is no need for an escape sequence.

If the mode 3 device is unplugged, the switch contacts maintain line connection to the other devices.

If death receives more than its share of attention from the theologian and if sin receives less than its share, the gift of the life eternal through Christ begins to look like the divinely appointed means of rescue from temporal, i.e., created, existence.

If the Onemen Bay is considered part of the river, it also receives the Velikaya River ( Chukotka ) from the south and the Kanchalan River from the north.

If the Commons carries the motion, the mover receives orders to go to the bar at the House of Lords and to impeach the accused " in the name of the House of Commons, and all the commons of the United Kingdom.

If the molecule can be rotated in space so that the directions of those four groups match those of the analog groups in-glyceraldehyde's C2, then the isomer receives the '-' prefix.

If the candidate receives less than 5 % of the vote, the government funds € 800, 000 to the party (€ 150, 000 paid in advance ) Advertising on TV is forbidden but official time is given to candidates on public TV.

If no candidate receives an absolute majority in the first round then the candidate ( s ) with the fewest number of votes is eliminated and excluded from further ballots.

If the player cannot reach the needed score — or if the timer runs out — the game ends, and the player receives a final score.

If the couple has divorced fewer than three times ( meaning it is not a final divorce ) the wife also receives spousal support for three menstrual cycles after the divorce, until it can be determined whether she is pregnant.

If no vice presidential candidate receives an Electoral College majority, then the Senate selects the Vice President, in accordance with the United States Constitution.

If the sender does not receive an acknowledgment before the timeout, it usually re-transmits the frame / packet until the sender receives an acknowledgment or exceeds a predefined number of re-transmissions.

If each ' rats out ' the other, each receives a three-month sentence.

If one twin receives less testosterone and the other more, this could result in different levels of brain masculinisation.

If a bet goes overnight, the bettor is charged a financing cost ( or receives it, if the bettor is shorting the stock ).

If all 10 or 11 cards in a player's hand fit into melds and thereby the player has no deadwood, he or she can choose to go Gin in which case the round ends and the player going Gin receives a Gin bonus of 25 points ( or another established amount ) plus any deadwood points in the opponent's hand.

If she, and the order, determine that she may have a vocation to the life, she receives the habit of the order ( usually with some modification, normally a white veil instead of a black, to distinguish her from professed nuns ) and undertakes the novitiate, a period ( that lasts one to two years ) of living the life of a nun without yet taking vows.

If she accepts, she is tonsured in a formal service during which she is given the outer robe ( Exorassa ) and veil ( Epanokamelavkion ) to wear, and ( because she is now dead to the world ) receives a new name.

If a batter receives three bad balls then a ' walk-on ' is called and all runners advance one base.

If the value of the currency relative to gold has decreased, then the person receives less than one ounce of gold.

If the value of the currency relative to gold has increased, the redeemer receives more than one ounce of gold.

If a woman receives her first exposure to toxoplasmosis while pregnant, the baby is at particular risk.

If a candidate receives less than a two-thirds majority, the cardinals send up black smoke — created by burning the ballots along with wet straw and chemical additives — it means that no successful election has yet occurred.

If the cord is clamped after 1 – 3 minutes, the infant receives increased amounts of haemoglobin in their first months of life, but may have an increased risk of needing phototherapy to treat jaundice.

If euchred while playing alone, the opposing team still only receives two points.

If no candidate receives an absolute majority, another election must be held at a later date.
